No they never come to feeders!! Pike

Just back from shed hunting and ended up finding 4, bringing my total up to 26 sheds for the year. Things are greening up here in PA. pretty fast and doubt I will be able to get back out. I started my season very late on Feb 28th due to the deep snow and was able to get out 4 times here in PA. and finding 12 sheds. I only got to spend 2 days shed hunting in OH. and found 14 sheds out there. Pike

Congrads Shed!! Awesome finds as always. Just got back, ended up finding 4 today here in York co. Things are greening up pretty fast here so my shed hunting is comming to an end. Pike

Hoyt, Herd Reduction doesn't affect me one bit, but just because it doesn't affect me doesn't mean I shouldn't care about the other hunter's the other area's of the state as well as the rich hunting tradition we have. And as far as deer harvest reporting, for decades the PGC. has claimed that more than 60% of PA. hunters are lazy, law breaking hunters and don't report their harvest. And because of this, there is no way the PGC. can give accurate harvest and deer density numbers. But let me ask you a serious question, (and im not trying to be smart or rude) Hoyt If I told you that 60 + % of your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, congregation, political party, etc. etc. etc. were lazy law breaking slobs who couldn't spare 2 minutes of their time to do what was required of them, would you believe or agree with me? If your answer is NO!! (Which Im sure it is) How can you believe that 60 +% of all PA. Hunters are?? After all the hunters of PA. are no better or worse than any other demographic in PA. Im all for antler restrictions, herd reduction (where still needed) etc. but I am sick and tired of the PGC. misleading the hunters and worse the non hunters of PA. Pike

Awesome sheds and pics!! Congrads. Pike

This is pathetic!! In 2009-10, 900,000 + PA. deer hunters had an ESTIMATED Deer Harvest of 308,920 deer. Meanwhile our next store neighbors, 400,000 OH. deer hunters had an ACTUAL Deer Harvest of 261,314 deer. (the ODNR only counts deer that are actually checked in and do not use estimates) And according to the PGC., PA. currently has a lot more deer per square mile.LMAO!! The PGC. is a Joke and needs to be blown up, turned into scrap and them dumped into the ocean!! And then send their employee's to Super Pets for new jobs!! Pike

LMAO!! I just choked on my snuff!! Pike

DA. Congrads!! Happy Birthday! Pike

Thanks guys!! Here is another pic. of him. redkneck, I just back my Atv. up to them, it fits right between the feeders legs. Some guys store a step ladder near by and cover it up with branches etc. Pike

Awesome looking dogs guys!! Here is my 16 week old Lab pup Mojo that I adopted from a rescue on Feb. 1st., I am currently training him to be an antler dog and he found his first antler (with out me seeing it first) last weekend (first pic below) Pike

Shed Pup's 1st. OH. Shed Hunt!!! Took advantage of the great weather and spent the last weekend in SE. OH. with Mojo and ended up finding 14 sheds and a dead 10-pt including one that Mojo found all by himself and brought to me!! It is the first shed he has found by himself without me seeing it prior to him! (the first pic.) The 2nd. pic. is of Mojo after I saw some gobblers and we got behind a bush and I told him to lay down and he did the entire time while I called them into 35 yards. The 3rd and 4th pics is of Mojo on the ATV., we road all over and every time I tried to put him on the ground he tried to jump right back on. (I might have spoiled him!) Pike

Shed Pup's 3rd. PA. Shed Hunt!!! Mojo and I were able to get back out to the woods on March 7th. at about 3:30Pm. for our 3rd shed hunt of the year. (we were going to head to OH. today but there is still too much snow left on the ground) and hunted right up until dark and ended up finding 5 sheds today including a nice matched set which were laying about a half mile apart. Pike

Shed Pup's 2nd. PA. Shed Hunt!!! I was able to get out for a couple hours on March 3rd. with Mojo for our 2nd shed hunt and ended up finding one 3-pt shed and unfortunately a dead 1.5 year old buck. When I saw the shed laying there I told Mojo to find the bone and it took him about 5 minutes to locate it. Most of the snow should be gone by this weekend and I cant wait to get back out! Pike

Shed Pup's 2nd. PA. Shed Hunt!!! I was able to get out for a couple hours March 3rd. with Mojo for our 2nd shed hunt and ended up finding one 3-pt shed and unfortunately a dead 1.5 year old buck. When I saw the shed laying there I told Mojo to find the bone and it took him about 5 minutes to locate it. Most of the snow should be gone by this weekend and I cant wait to get back out! Pike

Shed Pup's First PA. Shed Hunt!!! I decided that the snow had melted enough to take Mojo out for his first shed hunt on Feb. 28th. We arrived at 1:50 PM. and started walking up the steep hill and into a large cedar thicket, there was a lot more snow than I thought there would be, varying between 6-12 inches with some bare spots under the cedars. We immediately got into deer trails and deer droppings and we started following one of the well used trails. Not even 150 yards from the truck I look at a bare spot about 18 yards to my left and I see a nice shed laying there, then I look 4-5 feet from it and I see another shed laying on the ground. I decided to stay put and let Mojo work the area until he finds them (even if it takes 3 hours) I then tell Mojo to find the bone as he is sniffing every deer track etc. and after 10 minutes or so he finds the larger shed ( a real nice 6-pt shed) he seemed as shocked as I was to find it laying there and just stood there for a minute, then he laid down and started chewing it and I told him to bring me the bone, which he did, I put on a rubber glove and took it and placed it in my back pack, then gave him a huge hug and a treat. After a couple minutes I was able to coax him to forget about the shed we found and he started to search again in the area of the first shed, after another minute or so he discovered the 2nd shed ( a 2-pt shed) and stood there like he was puzzled again, I then said bring me the bone, he picked it up and took off running with it this time instead of bringing it to me :grin: so I had to catch him to get it away from him and gave him another hug and another treat as he tried to get in my back pack laying on the ground. I was able to finally get him going back to searching but we didn't find any more sheds, just way too much snow and by 3:30 PM. he was plum tuckered out. Below are pics of our awesome afternoon. Pike
