Quantico Shed Hunting Get Together

[virginiashadow]

For any of you guys that hunt Quantico....

Lets get together a couple times in January-March to do some shed hunting/scouting. It would be great to meet some of you guys and to explore some ground on Quantico. 3-4 sets of eyes and feet can cover a lot of ground. As many of you know, having 5-6 areas that you are intimately familiar with really helps you on the base.

Let me know guys if you want to meet up. We can do it on a Saturday or Sunday, and for however long you all like. I will bring the coffee!

Another thing. I had some issues with Hunters for the Hungry this year in terms of finding a free butcher to process and donate the deer I wanted to donate. I contacted HFTH (Hunters for the Hungry) and decided to try and help them instead of complaining. I am selling two sets of raffle tickets to help support the costs of the HFTH program. You will see the great prizes they are giving away and the tickets are cheap. And they are only selling a limited amount of raffle tickets so everyone's odds will be pretty good. Here is the website if you want to look at the prizes. If any of you want to buy any, please let me know as it is for a great cause here in Virginia. HFTH cannot currently pay any butcher because they are out of funds this year. That is not acceptable to me and I want to help.

Sounds good Rick. I have every other weekend off due to my work schedule. I am off the weekend of January 16th and 30th if anyone likes those dates. Like I said, I can do Saturdays or Sundays. I would prefer Sundays but I am flexible.

LET me know guys. We could really cover a lot of ground and make some great discoveries in scouting by finding the sheds and buck beds.

Sundays work better for me also..I would love to go walk around and cover some ground. I found some sheds this past monday actually, nice 9 point! I talked to the guy at the checkstation, he said that 3 others also came in that day.

David and Rick, lets get our schedules hashed out and head out in the next month or so. I have some places in mind and am also willing to head into some areas that you all want to scout. I love learning new places on Q.

Seems some of bucks are shedding early this year. I killed a buck in the mountains, which I thought was a doe, Tuesday that had shed. My son killed a 7 pt at AP Hill same day that dropped an antler when it fell. Check station people there said some antlerless bucks are being check in there too. Just seems early.

We can concentrate on a small section of an area if you all like....maybe 50-100 acres or so.

How does this Sunday sound guys? If not this Sunday, maybe Saturday/Sunday the 19th or 20th of January? We could possibly meet up around 9am and go to around 12pm or 1pm or so, so that we can get home to our families? Let me know what dates and times look good to you all. Take care and happy new years guys!
