Hey Brandon, how many browns have you found so far ?? I like that 4 pt. the way the main beem curves down.
I am at 7 browns so far good start. T.H.
 
So far that is the only brown I have picked up.
My phone has a pedometer on it...and according to it I walked 24 miles this weekend! Not the greatest....but I have been seeing LOTS of bucks still packing both sides....seen 37 in one spot and 30 in another the other day
YB
 
your seeing LOTS of bucks still packing both side and you walked 24 miles if you would let them shed you would have both sides to that buck
 
I just don't understand why you would go 24 miles with very few brownies on the ground i mean that much walking how can you not push,move,harass what ever you want to call it you can fool the fans but c'mon man let em be for a min
 
I can fool the fans? What fans are these? Its pretty easy to walk that far and not disturb anything....the herds are like any other herd of deer or elk....they feed in one area and bed in another....whatever area they are not in I feel I can walk without disturbing them. Also using binoculars helps to find the deer and stay away from them....hence the excess walking to get away and around the deer.
I love how people on this website jump to conclusions. I use to post on this site all the time....then it got to be like it is now....cant post a picture or comment without someone jumpn up your ass about a horn that was found early
 
youngbuck,
I don't think he was trying to jump down your neck, or necessarily direct that towards YOU only. I think a lot of it is that SOME people (not saying you) do go out and push herds around and make them burn excess energy long before the harsh winter months are over, and then they give us "hunters" a bad rep. I personally think if you can pick up antlers, and you KNOW you are not disrupting them, or "chasing" them, good on' ya. Thats my $.02.
 
u probably dont understand walking more than 40 yards from your truck or 4 wheeler..u are probably one of the people we see leaving 4 wheeler tracks & truck tracks all thru their winter ranges..are u for real???? how far do u think a deer is gonna run from a guy walking thru sage brush or trees looking for horns..I was out last weekend myself walked over 15 miles the last 8 miles I walked the closest deer I saw was over 400 yards from me & didnt even get up from their beds & they were all 5 shed out bucks..but I still didnt find their horns nor did they give a rats ass about me...but I sure as hell saw several of these dedicated horn hunters riding their 4 whellers all out thru the sage & come to think of it we found way more horns than they did & we never spooked 1/4 of the deer those butt heads did....Kid has a good point.. I just dont understand why u would make your comment about the kid walking that far & make your comment about push move harass but U must be one of the FANS... seems everyone else was more interested in the horn itsself...well there always has to be one or 2 in the crowd...
 
No i'm not a fan of any old shed hunter! No i'm not one of those "KIDS" that run there wheelers around the brush.
But guess what this is a public forum and 50 KIDS look at his post how he walked 24 miles guess what they do run out and try to cover as much ground as they can push deer scatter horns drive there bikes where ever they wan't
all i am saying is where i live you can't just let them shed then go in and fill your pack because kids see a two piont with one side gone and tell all there buddys at shcool then you have 15 kids running around pushing the deer might be diffrent up in idaho were you guys live but keep it up and you will also have to get on the web take a stupid a.s.s.test print it out keep it on you just to go hiking
 
It's funny to see people try to put blame on others, YES there are a few bad eggs out there who try to push the deer to make them drop their horns. I was talking to a guy who told me he jumped a buck with one horn and kept pushing him to try to get him to drop his other horn, what a jerk.
The bad thing is the amount of chucker hunters out there who unintentionally push the deer, I have seen it several times this winter. I don't have anything against the chucker hunters either.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-26-10 AT 06:35PM (MST)[p]I see way more lion hunters plowing through brush on wheelers than i do shed hunters! Oh and by the pack of Smokes in the one picture on the dash ya prob only walked one mile but it felt like 24 miles ha ha just kiddin by the last of that comment
 
tine hunter i wasent putting blame on young buck but can you see were i'm comming from he's braggin how his magical phone told him he walked 24 miles and how many deer still are packing thats why we have a law on sheds now and it's from people just like that and only getting worse
 
I got to go with hornkiller here, probably cause I'm also from Ut. That's cool that he found a couple of sheds, but it doesn't make much sense to me to shed hunt in Jan or even early Feb. Give it a month and you'll find more. I agree that the deer may not mind to much see a human WALKING, (people that shed hunt w/ four wheelers through the sage are douchebags by the way) but the problem is that there is way more than one person everyday out there. Congrats on the shed though.
 
u are apparently a fan of your own!!!!!!! u know what they say about life being a #####??? well in Idaho its NO different than any other state that has deer or horn hunters..u are going to have a handful of dipshits chasing deer & elk with motorcycles 4 wheelers trucks & snowmobiles..until the F&G make it ilegal to have them on or near these winter ranges it isnt gonna change...but did a FAN like u ever think the kid walked 24 miles to get away from these Aholes & try to find some decent bone ??? or did u find it your civic duty to blast him for walking 24 miles & just assume he was harassing & scaring deer???
 
i'll tell you what oldonryasshorehunter i'm a fan of shaq,vikings,yankess,hunting,coorslight, and no i don't think the kid walked 24 miles to get away from a holes i think he was in there to get the couple of bigger bucks that shed before someone wen't in there and the only reason i said he can fool the fans is because really deer don't travel 10 miles from feed to bed on winter range unless people go in there and make them do that trust me i been doing this for a while and they will bed where they feed or really close by not 1or2 miles away but it sounds like idaho is alot diffrent because they travel great distinces to bed and feed and then when there in there bed they don't care if people just walk on by and it's not only bikes and snow machines that are going to get that law it's also from people that go into these areas and push the animals into deeper snow yes there going to move they have legs but it's diffrent when they move because of human pressure vs looking for food but i didn't expect you to know that because you just blame it on the guys that run there machines all over h.e.l.l that your simply walking beside so what do the deer do when your out walking around and there are bikes running around at the same time they just duck and hide in the sage brush right? really for being an old horn hunter as yourself you really should take the time to call someone to do somthing about these bikis you have seen or man up and do something about it yourself instead of loosing the privledge of doing this soon to be outlawed sport
 
well u sure put me in my place there horn spanker...I personally know the kid & have seen him out in the same areas I horn hunt & u wont find a nicer down to earth kid that has his stuff together & I have walked with this kid & some of his buddies many a mile over the last 10 years & I have seen his truck loaded to the nuts with bone..as far as your assumption of him trying to beat someone else to the horns u are dead wrong again!! but it appears to me that your facts as as accurate as your comments..NOT..we have a bunch of A holes up here just like U in Utah..they have been running these animals already for a month & the animals we were looking for sheds off were in no way bothered or in any way shape or form in any hardship there isnt any snow where these animals are at & hasnt been any since christmas they DO indeed walk at least 1 to 2 miles to feed in the local farm fields & hit the farmers hay fields but they dont have to they have an abundance of bitter brush sage & all kinds of grass where they have been for the last month...the only pressure they get is from these said A holes ..that is why Youngbuck & a few of us other horn hunters walk the extra miles to get away from the over populated areas...but im sure u being so knowledgeably about the horn hunting ways & rules & regs in Idaho & Utah U are the one that is right...we dont have any problems gathering 50 to 200 deer & elk horns a year up here.. tell shaq & the spankies hello next time you run into them...
 
really i could care less how many broke back miles you guys have hiked holding hands and really don't care if he has had his truck full of horns! In the first place i wasen't talking to you i was talking to him your the one that started to be an Ahole if you wan't to play dad that's fine just dont do it with me you turned this into a whole diffrent topic another thing i never said i was anybodys boss or a rule cop you guys want to go hike miles miles looking for scatterd horns go ahead last time i checked 24 miles for one horn didn't fill a truck bed very fast look at the pic of the horn in the truck you said there is no snow i cant see a spot that doesn't have snow
 
Are you wearing Sitka Gear???




Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high, keep your eyes fixed to where the trail meets the sky...
 
broke back must be one of your favorite movies!!! come too think of it wasnt one of them rump rangers nick named horhkiller??? its comments from uninformed people like yourself that nobody cares to hear...& actually u jumped the kid about harassing deer & ran your uneducated mouth about it & I believe the kid made the same comment back about your FAN comment.. bottom line u dont know crap about how anyone up here horn hunts & basically we dont care what u think wait till all them utah bucks drop their horns & go walk ride fly or whatever trips your trigger there Brokeback & see how many horns u pick yourself at the end of the year..& I think the heading was biggest of 2010 not truck load... oh & the snow in the 2nd picture wasnt the horn he was even talking about it was the one in the bed of the truck at his feet..u are a sharp one I bet u dont miss any of them Brokeback mtn reruns do ya...
 
I was reading some of the banter and comments back and forth on this post & thread. Do any of you favor the setting of a shed hunting season, preferably late Spring after a lot of winter stress is over, or do you think govt. regulation will just screw things up? Right now, there's 12-20 inches in most of the areas around here; I would prefer not even starting til most of it is melted off? What do y'all think?

I would be for a horn hunting season, the only problem with that is the jackass' that are not going to follow the rules. I know I could pick up alot more bone if there was a season, and the rules were followed. In alot of places in utah if an animal drops, it's only hours before those sheds are picked up. Hornkiller knows this very well, as he has already lost out on an awesome set of horns because he chose to wait until spring to go get them.
 
to tell you the truth i have never watched the movie once i found out it was about to g.ay. idaho cowboys i chose not to watch it so i wouldn't know the names of people in the movie but glad to see you do i didn't just because you live up there don't mean nothing people hunt horns just the same wan't proof go look at tines up tons of idaho kids if you really wanted to have a contest to see who can find more horns bring it you started to brag about the truck load of horns i simply said 24 miles for one horn it is going to take a long time to fill a truck bed SMART ONE i seen his title you said there has been no snow since before x mas so who is full of it biggest of 2010 [SO FAR} is what it said looks like a bunch of snow to me SMART ONE

never seen a rerun on my t.v. of your movie must just be a local channel you guys got up there must love
 
pete i would love to see a season on it it would really solve a lot of problems and you know what if the d.o.w. would say hey if you see someone out horn hunting just let the air out of the 2 back tires and then get ahold of us and we will be right there to ticket them one min this guy is saying hasent been any snow since xmas 2009 then his hikin buddy has a pic of a 2010 horn with no dry ground in the back ground and hes out hikin around while 4 wheelers cruise around the brush but the deer dont care i just dont know what to think of these two idahoans i would really like to hear from any body that lives up there can you please tell me how horn hunting really is up there and keep your story straght please
 
Man, many middle schools in Utah and Idaho are missing the class tard. What the heck is up with you guys?

And that horn is not 73 inches, just in case anyone was wondering.
 
i don't hang out at middle schools so i wounldn't know have you put a tape to that horn how do you know what it scores?
 
well its pretty clear u are in complete denial of your broke back roots I mean u were the one that started out your last reply with "broke back miles" u must have got lost in a flash back take a minute its ok...end of this back & forth CRAP u have your ideas of horn hunting in utah & I have mine here in Idaho..come to think of it the kid posted a 73 " brown his 1st of the year & made comment about the animals still packing & u go off about him harassing the deer !! anyways end of story..hey Young Buck decent horn & U stop trying to run them bucks down on foot U are making the "hornkiller" mad!!!!!!!!!
 
thanks for adding your 2 cents nice shot there with the tard comment hope u didnt spend alot time coming up with that sharp remark...wow u sure put us in our places oh & the horn actually measured 73 3/8 ..
 
not making me mad go scatter your horns and possibly kill some good bucks just keep it in idaho my utah ideas are to not pressure the deer your ideal idea is to hike beside bikes running all over because you found way more horns than they did and it never even scarred the deer you just keep hikin they will keep drivin and you will see your honey hole go to sh.it or a law put in place your a big guy behind your key board but you can't make a phone call to someone that can do something about those bikes you just get on here and whine about them
 
U just dont stop...the only one doing any whining at all is U ...like I said before drop it...get over it heres an idea go out & find some HORNS or go to another site ....later
 
if you don't like don't read it i don't want to push the deer i'm watching YOU DON"T GET IT DO YA you said drop it then bring me up in another post so why don't you take a hike be careful to not break a hip that would ruin your truck bed full of horns dream!
 
don't worry dad i know when it's time to go get em you just keep chasin them and scatter the horns futher apart then you can post how far apart they were if you match any up
 
not worried about u at all..{like Epointer in post 21 said u have already lost out on alot of horns because u opt to wait} & like I said do it your way....I found 7 yesterday how did u do????? oh thats right u let someone else get them cause your waiting!!!!!
 
do you need glasses? go read post 21 again you must think your one bad a.s.s. i mean who wouldn't you can run out there hike mile after mile have a special connection with the deer where they don't even get out of there bed when your around and it's people just like "YOU" that need a good whoopin but nobody wants to go to jail for an assalt on a senior citizen thanks for showing everybody on this site what a true sportsmen you are get out there run some more bone down dil.do


lets see your bone! its ok if you have to go to your buddies house and take a pic of his horns i can wait
 
U obvisiously cant read... me & everyone else that has listened to your constant lipshit has read it...it says hornkiller has lost out on an awesome set of horns because he CHOOSE to wait.. LIKE I said that was your choice on how u want to horn hunt...& now u come on here saying I need a good whooping??? NO dipshit U & U alone can lay claim to the title of SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR because u are one with the deer...give me a break..
 
like Epointer in post 21 said u have already lost out on "alot of horns" because u opt to wait


it says hornkiller has lost out on "an awesome set of horns" because he CHOOSE to wait..


I'm glad you keep your storys up they have been diffrent in every post you have made for me you keep chassin them bucks and telling us your storys of the bone you pic up i wasen't even talking to you in the first place dipsh!t but you had to start it with me and my lip has only come after every post you have made then go bring me up on another one go take a viagra and leave me out of your posts i'm done with your storys
 
You two need to chill. We all have are way of doing it, as long as your not harassing animals it's fine. I'm not going to pick sides, because I myself have picked up horns already this year without harassing deer. Hornkiller has his way of doing it, he missed out on a big set, but I'll bet he still picks up an ass load of horns this year. Maybe even a truck load.
 
Well horn hunting in Idaho is like everywhere else you go out and find pick em up and take them home. All joking aside, if they ride atv's off road in wet conditions exspecially if they are harrassing animals, they are gonna get a ticket if they get caught. But Some people do use them to get back in to the far to reach places on top of the snow. Nothing different there vs. just going out and going for a snowmobile ride other than thats not what they are out there for. Hornkiller I'm all for what your saying, but the reality is that it will never happen, there will always be guy or two that will sneak in and take what he shouldn't when an areas closed thats just how it is.
 
Wow u are piece of work...its real clear to us on MM who has showed their real Sportsmans ethics on this particular post...& the AWARD goes to HORHKILLER.....
 
Hey YB it looks like you have started out having another great year. Are you over in south west idaho? I know how you feel about people jumping all over your back about your posts but don't stop i love seeing some of the sheds you are finding.
 
Leave the deer alone for another month wether you are on a wheeler or on foot. No one has any business shed hunting this soon. It only harasses deer and jeopardizes the sport.I'd rather wait a few weeks and pick up brown bone in everyone elses foot tracks.
 
I don't understand people- Regardless if they believe they are harassing the animals or not- IT IS NOT THE BEST TIME OF YEAR to be out hiking/looking for sheds. Why even flirt with the chance of giving them pressure?
Have some decency and respect for the animals. If you are picking up sheds this time of year- the animals are close enough to feel you. If they run or not- they know you are there. The deer can be stressed from danger (humans) and not run.
I am very against restrictions- but give us a season. Don't open it till April 1st!
Even with the best intentions and the up most respect for animals- its just not the best time of year to do it- you can't argue that- if you think you can, please try.
Its all about selfishness.

If you will answer only one question answer this: With the health of the animal in mind- what months would be better to be "around" wintering animals? Jan.-Feb or Mar.- Apr.? Your kidding yourself if you think Jan- Feb.
 
in one of the areas we shed hunt the majority of the bucks are completely shed out by the 1st week in feb...in fact some of the bucks in this area have been shed out for almost a month already...I know people who have been picking up browns there since the 2nd week in jan...in fact one canyon that had over 50 bucks in it have all moved out & in a weeks time with NO PRESSURE at all they moved over a mile back up towards their spring & summer range..like I said in some earlier posts there has not been any new snow in this area since around christmas..in fact last year the same area had over a foot & 1/2 of snow the 1st of feb & the closest snow since xmas this year is over 5 miles away..they have been in cheet grass & sage for over a month...im sure there are parts of the west that still has a butt load of snow but not in eastern oregon or southwest idaho...
 
Dude you can harras all the deer you want to in oregon or idaho but let me catch you doing that down here youll be coyote bait!
It does not matter at all when the bucks shed the point is they are still wintering just cause they may have shed doesn't mean they quit wintering!
 
Harass the deer??? so Einstein if the deer in a particular area have shed their horns & are now a mile or more away from where they wintered or at least spent most of {nov-dec & jan} & there isnt any sort of winter conditions happening in this area & hasnt been in the last month or better its your bright conclusion that they are still wintering but they are now doing it a mile away from where they spent the last 2 plus months???? wow that makes perfect sense !!!! I will make sure the next time I am down there picking up my brownies that I tell all the other 100 plus shed hunters that have hunted the same areas for the last 20 plus years we better stop it cause U said so...and I will let them also know that we better stay out of utah cause the weekendwarrior said he was going to turn us into coyote bait... WOW im sure glad u set us Idaho horn hunters straight
 
Oldhornhunter, I'm not going to tell you when you should shed hunt, but do you think maybe all the deer are a mile away from where they spent the last two months is because of the 100 plus shed hunters that just walked through that area?
 
Blazingsaddles you obviously don't get out much. If you did you would see that the bird hunters chase the deer around a lot more than some guy looking for horns. At least some shed hunters have enough common sence not to bother the deer durring these times. Last time I looked I was still living in the Great USA.
 
One thing I can tell ya is if it wasn't for the internet and shed antler forums, there would be a lot less people out there shed hunting and harassing the wildlife. It does not suprise me that the fish and game agencies of many states are considering making a shed hunting season and regulation, they are doing it for the benefit of the wildlife, and I think that is why government agencies are creating more wilderness, to keep humans from screwing things up like we do. 15 years ago there wasn't near the people shed hunting as there are now days. Just my two cents.
 
I have never told anyone how to do their thing when it comes to horn hunting either...Not at all these particular animals are more than 2 miles from the nearest road & the 100 plus horn hunters I was refering to dont walk more than a mile from their trucks...I know what u are getting at thou & yes had these animals been in the same area as those 100 people there is no doubt they would have left the country also...
 
elkguide if the Fish and Game were doing that, why wouldn't they stop all the late season and winter hunts along with the bird hunts, and close down snowmobiling and crosscountryskiing and all that? They don't care about every aspect of the animals survival i think or they wouldn't allow people to hunt these areas. If the were to regulate shed hunting then like it was said earlier I would become a bird hunter, because they can still be out there. Its like one winter range here, its closed for shed hunting til May 1st, but in April when the snows gone four wheelers and horses are on the trail for "leisure" yeah right, maybe some of them. There is no way to regulate it fully. Not saying I go in there because I dont not once since they closed it because it gets combed over before the fact, but I would be the one to get caught probably if I went in, so? I dunno but regulations I don't think is the key, it is education that is essential. they need to educate people. Laws mean nothing without people knowing what they are.
 
idahoan I agree that education is key and that laws put a bad taste in everyones mouth, but the fact is education only works if the people are willing to learn, you can't teach someone who "know's it all", there are plenty of people out there like that. Maybe regulation and laws aren't the way to protect wildlife, maybe it would just take people being ethical instead of greedy and always having to find the biggest and best. It is all about making a name for themselves, to show off to everyone. I for one don't agree with bird hunts and late season hunts going on during the crutial parts of the winter time for big game.
 
tine hunter-
I must not get out as much as you- My apologies- By the way- you never answered my one question? Is being AROUND (ie; any activity) animals during wintering months in the best interest of their health?

Legal or not, its still not in the best intrest of the deer, regardless of if its bird hunting or shed hunting. Thats my whole point-
 
hey I am sure glad I got your approval..I hear there is a teaching postion open at the Horn Hunter Academy...they need a smart guy like u ....
 
I dont think that education is going to help. you cant tell me the people that hike into a closed area dont know better.
 
Anyone want to go chuckar hunting this weekend. Might pick up a horn while were out there, there's deer everywere.
 
Can we use horses so we can chase the deer in case they haven't dropped yet?? I think if we chase them with horses we can see them fall off and see any that have fallen off already ;-)

Ya we can, and if u have a lasso bring it. There is a ton of snow, so we should be able to ride up on them, get it around there horns, and pull = brown set. PM me when you want to go.
 
My buddy found this one last week while we were at work. Hope we can match it up before the rodents find it.

I've been shed hunting for going on 20 years now. and I have yet to see a major kill off from shed hunting! I used to start in april and now I go in february, I have to if I want to pick up any big bone. I even decided this year im not putting in for out of state tags t fund more shed trips. I just can't see how so many think shedding is killing! your all a bunch of morons! now I know you get a couple who chase the animals and push them a little to hard but their doing no worse than poachers any other time of year and should be treated as the same. but as far far as some kids hiking the hills finding horns, not hurting a damn thing, other than some lazy man's dreams!
 
I see your all worried about the big game and the "stress" the shed hunters can put on them, but remember that a human can't run a herd of elk or deer in deep snow to the point of them giving up then rip the back end out of a few for some hot meat, only to waste most of it and then go do it again the next day...

If some folks were as worried about the fact that wolves are constantly bothering and poaching big game as they were of their cimpetition beating him to an antler, something might get done that would actually help.

I ALREADY KNOW SAVE IT FOR THE WOLF FORUM!!!


^BIGBONE^
 
Why don't you guys cut the kid some slack? He could be out with his pants sagging nearly down to his knees and "bustin caps" at other people, drinking the booze and doing meth......

Instead he's out trying to do something a lot more positive for himself. We just all need to learn how to share the resource is what it all boils down to.

Good job on the antlers Youngbuck and thanks for sharing your story. Someone is always going to take offense in nearly everything you do...but as long as you know what you're doing is right, hold your head high and keep on walking...don't let a few people get you down.
