I just spent an hour surfing the forums here on MM. First of all there seems to be lots of negative attacking going on. Esp. regarding shed hunting season dates. We're all like minded people here and I bet if we met in person under different circumstances we would be quick friends. For some reason being anonymous on a forum makes some people jerks.
A friend of mine has an interesting opinion on when shed seasons should open. Hypothetically let's say, in all western States, that shed season opens the first Tuesday every April. That keeps everybody in their own back yards. Makes sense to me but I know that will never happen.
Now for my opinion. Far to many shed hunters feel the need to post their awesome skills on facebook, instagram and you tube. Keep posting, eventually you will destroy the very thing you love to do. I challenge any shed hunter to stop posting. Problem is that won't happen because social media has made everyone a narcissist. Look at me.. Look at what I found.. Look how awesome I am. I to tell victim to that same narcissism. I have 10 years worth of shed ATL pics on this website. I felt validated as a skillfull antler gatherer because of those pics. I now realize it only hurts the very thing I love by doing so. ( sorry Brian I won't be sending pics this year ) I also challenge all of you to un-subscribe to any shed hunting channels on you tube that you are currently subscribed to. I did. Lets all go off the radar for the love of shed hunting.
Remember this is my opinion, please don't bully me with words cause you disagree. I well come intelligent opinions. Happy Hunting!
