This past weekend signaled the end of my shed hunting for the year as I took a last minute day trip out to North Dakota and was able to scoop up a couple antlers. Now that shed hunting is over, I wanted to take a look back at the last few months through some photos, and show you how my shed hunting went this year.
The first shed during my first walk of the year in mid January.
Sheds aren't the only thing I find.
A lot of miles were put on this spring.
A must have during any shed hunt - a walking stick.
I went nearly three months in between shed finds.
Find food, find bedding, work back and forth in between the two
Binoculars are an important part of shed hunting.

“The Struggle”
As the 2018 whitetail season draws to a close and I take a few weeks to reflect before scouting begins, I find myself at a crossroad. Close encounters with quality bucks and a pair of empty post-season hands leave an unsatisfied hunger to burn for nine months, while the overwhelming sense of pride from the experience of my first team sit with my two young sons wells up in my eyes almost daily. There is much to digest from the last few months in order to both lock in a plan for next year, and to embrace the changes as I define the husband, father, and hunter that I am determined to be.
