Found this woodcock hunting the last week of January. Looks like it was a year old. Harper did not find this skull however she has brought a few back to me already. Never trained her on it but it wouldn't take but a day. Dogs are smart. I can remember a few years ago when there were no woodcock around, we started shaking squirrel nests. Within just a few shakes, the dogs had abandoned the woodcock hunt and started site hunting the tops of trees. What are ya gonna do?

My sister and BIL live in Colorado. When I was out there in November I spoke to a wildlife officer who was checking our fishing licenses. We got to talking and he said the shed hunting had gotten so popular there and competitive that they started the license for it to take the pressure off the wildlife.
So many people tramping around keeps constant pressure/stress on everything and they felt they needed a break so they could have a natural “resting” period like they used to before the shed fever got so hot. There is some money to be made out west if you can get your hands on enough elk sheds. I respected the logic but am also glad to see that shed hunting has grown.

I love the little spike sheds. They make perfect bottle openers. Found this one at Lee’s a couple years ago.

Was fixing a fence this afternoon and found a 2016 model. The buck that wore this is still alive.

Nice ones. Looks like you have a better shell dog than a shed dog.

Would have rather it been a shed, but a nice find nonetheless. Found in Greensboro.
A bone is a bone. Dogs just want to please us. Great finds this year. Good luck in future hunting

Green up has come on so early again this year that my shed hunting has been hurt. I usually wait till March 1st in hopes all the bucks have dropped, but now the wheat is a foot tall! Walked two hours today in some thick nasty stuff with zero. Last Sunday walked 3 hours found one nice freshie and one small oldie.

Walked for four hours on Saturday and did not find any sheds. Jumped a spike and he was obviously still holding. Pulled three cameras and the majority of bucks were still holding. Only one completely shed and two young bucks with one side. Southern Alamance County.

Still holding in Cabarrus from my cameras.
Found a couple small ones today while liming food plots. The camera card shows most still holding though.
