I feel about the same way when it comes to measuring everything. Seems like some people have to start measuring horns and antlers before they even get the critter field dressed. I couldn’t tell you a score on any of my mounts. Just dawned on me, some may feel the same way about mounts. I’ve decorated my property with sheds and heads. I’ve also never sold any.
The old timers used to take their mattress off the bed and throw it in the back of the truck to sleep on. They brought flour, beans and potatoes with them and then killed their own camp meat. Nobody had or really knew what camouflage was. I remember as a kid my brother and I slept in a sleeping bag on the ground and dad threw a tarp over us. He eventually worked his way up to a camper shell where he made a top bunk out of plywood that him and mom slept on while me and the brother slept underneath them. My dad got deer every year until he got to old to get them. We eventually worked our way up to a small bumper pull RV, we thought that thing was the “HILTON”!
Yep, one week in the hills with a mattress from home….then you kill an animal…the mattress is now expendable for multiple reasons?I was alway wondering how those rusty springs got in the middle of nowhere
Just wonder if there is as much crying when they find as shed as there is when they shoot an animal. I get that people work hard for stuff but dang shelves the waterworks for that raghorn… lots of man tears ?
No it's not legal to pick up a deadhead in Wyoming. If you want to keep a deadhead, you need to notify a game warden so he can investigate the scene to ensure no crime has been committed. After the GW's investigation, if they deem no crime has been committed, they will issue you an interstate game tag to take the deadhead. I think they're like $8.
Not legal in Wyoming. You cannot "attempt to locate" here...
I’m sure somebody somewhere will run a sting operation equipped with game cameras, 6 Game Wardens, 4 Sheriffs Deputies, a Helicopter and the film crew from “COPS” on a 3 point shed.
Scouting to me entails looking for shed bulls and if you accidentally stumble upon a shed then you can mark it. Either way, it's not enforceable. I've never even seen a game warden in all my time hunting in NV. Then trying to catch someone "marking" sheds and prove it in court is impossible. Taking sheds before the opener is much easier to enforce but still very difficult.
The wild thing too with it becoming more popular with the gen public is it really only punishes hunters, if you don’t hunt it may be a little fine or a warning but if you hunt they will give you points to eventually lose privileges to hunt. I am all for common sense stuff but it is unenforceable and ridiculous
I sure wouldn’t want a bunch of shed hunters stomping around my Turkey grounds, especially on opening day.
TRUTH!!!
Like ALL laws... regulation does not mean prevention. It means investigation and prosecution after-the-fact. For the majority of us, we comply with laws and regulations because its the right thing to do. For others, they comply for fear of the legal consequences. And for a small minority, nothing will deter them. It is no different than any law/regulation.
You mean with trail cameras, 20x scopes, $3k sworavski spotters, ONX, side by sides, horses, and super expensive titanium everything camping gear.??
Cool story bro
Naw, I don’t use ANY of those either including ONX like you. I had to Google that. You are a modern day technology hunter compared to me.
