Two truckloads of them asking could they go down and pick up sheds. He was a lot politer to them than I would've been. I have no doubt they'd have gone down the road had we not been there.

What wintering grounds? I have seen several guys "hiking" this time of year in the past in wintering areas. At least those guys said they were going to go shed hunting!
