Those are acouple of good ones. I'm hoping some will show thru the snow this weekend. Been melting some this week. The Lab needs a good run.

So far I've only found one in my life.  Looking to change that this year though!

Nice photos.

Found my first one of the year yesterday. I'd like to have the owner of that second pic under my stand this fall! Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

I'm getting my team started now! hope to be ready for next season. My 3 year old will be 4 and ready to walk far enough with daddy to go along. My pup Kaya is 14 weeks and is already retrieving and finding horns i toss around.

Doeboy,

Time to start working the lab on blood trailing.  Get a copy of John Jeanneney's Tracking Dogs for finding Wounded Deer.

I had to bring my kids in to see you lab pup.  Good looking kids and dog.

It's amazing how much you can learn about the deer in your area while shed hunting. You can walk anywhere you want and all the sign from the previous year is still there.

What Stone Sheep just posted is so true.  I honestly like shed antler hunting more than hunting turkeys in the spring.

I would have to agree with you. The last pieces of the puzzle seem to come together while shed hunting.I have already picked a few tree stand trees out for next year. I hope to trim them out before green up.

A definite sign of SPRING!
