"Guys like you" comes from the fact that you seem keen to jump on my first comments in this thread. Maybe you ain't one to jump all over some poor shed hunter that posts up a early shed but you certainly seemed keen to jump on my comments eh?
As for the desert pics, nope no waist deep snow in the pics. But guys were still jumping on them for being out so early.
My beef is with the so-called ethics police that think every where is the same as the land of Utard. Sorry, just ain't the case.
As for my personal shed hunting, yep, I shed hunt as early as Jan some years. If we have a good dump of powder snow mid Jan, I don't bother because the sheds fall to the bottom and are lost until April. If the snow conditions are firm on top, firm enough to hold tine, you can bet I'm out there with the snowshoes on. Mainly moose paddles first, deer second. While you guys battle other shed hunters, I battle the rodents. The longer the shed is on the ground, the longer the tree rats have to chew a shed to pieces. Do I wait for deer or moose to move out? Nope. I find they like me a lot better than the wolves that chase them around all year long.
