The one thing that i don't agree with is the part where the articles say that shed hunters push animals to try to get the antlers to fall off. If i'm in an area watching bulls that are still packing i don't want to push them out of that area before they drop! But maybe i'm stupid- :twocents:

I don't know if you guys ever watch Wardens on the Outdoor Channel but they did that and it was pretty awesome. Great way to catch people breaking the rules and no way they can fight it!
