Campfire
I know there's been some people curious about how to train a dog to find sheds (one of those people were me) so I thought I'd see if I could find a helpful site and share them with you guys. Here's the ones I found-

http://www.northamericanwhitetail.com/huntingtactics/ht_0903sheds/
http://www.antlerdogs.com/sitesections/community/articles/ShowArticle.as...
That's all I could find in a quick time looking. Hopefully this clears some people's thoughts and questions about it.
Hmm about 3 years we sold a chocolate lab to a guy and he trained it to hunt sheds, then it got stole.
Thanks for finding those articles T. I almost always take my bird dog with me when I go shed hunting anyway and even though none of them have been trained they still have made some finds that I would have missed.
Good articles i never knew you could do that. I have a lab that i think i will work with and see if she can do it.
Most dogs take too it fairly quickly. Just give them sheds to play with as a pup. Then take them out and stash some horns for them to find. Give them rewards for finding them, and you will have yourself a "Horn Dog".
Thanks for the links T - good info
HEH HEH..."Horn Dog"....good one.
I give you a +1.!
