Turkeygirl Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Well with the weather being awesome and me wanting to find some sheds, I spent both days this weekend hiking. Yesterday I went hiking on this old railroad which people now atv and snowmobile on. There are a few fields next to it that deer feed in but of the entire hike, I found not one shed! I did get myself a little lost. First I followed this awesome little creek with deep pools and clear water. Then I took this old logging trail, ended up hiking too far below the railroad trail and found myself outside of my college's town! So I had to hike about a mile back up this big hill and finally go back on the railroad trail and got back home. I wasn't worried at all, just got a little tired of being "lost",lol! Then today I took a hike to this little creek running on the land I hunt which has some wild brook trout. I found no sheds, did find the remains of what I believe to be that doe I shot but lost the blood trail and couldn't find during bow season, and all I caught were a bunch of fat minnows! I still had a great time, the sun shining, birds singing, God's creation as beautiful as ever. Then I found some people's tracks in some mud that I found in a field the day before and I'm wondering if they are scouting turkeys for NY's youth turkey hunt weekend, I hope not! I even came across my mom who had decided to take a walk in the woods and us, along with the three dogs dug some leeks(wild onions) for dinner. Well this has turned into a long post,lol! Enjoy the beauty of nature while you can people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deershed Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Re: Hiking all weekend Sounds like you had a nice weekend.I made a trip upstate Pa. from Md. to look for elk sheds Sunday. Hiked around all day up and town those mountains. I can't say I enjoyed myself though,no sheds. It wouldn't have been so bad,but it was a 4 hr. ride arriving there at 5:30 am.I looked all day then drove home at evening.It made for a long day.
