Default RE: Shed Hunting -- Cheaters?

OK, so.... wow. this is about pointless. but here we go
I use a 4-wheeler to look for sheds along fences and in fields (that are not planted and it doesn't tear anything up) but I am a cheater because I use an ATV? I look for sheds because I want to see what kind of deer are left for me to hunt next season. you are telling me that there are shed hunting ethics? HA That is funny...Mr. Oldschool huh? I walk to find sheds too, I walk ALOT, up and down hills, through creeks, across fields, over the plains, and all over, but you have the nerve to call me a cheater because I use a 4-wheeler to look for a Deer Antler?! Shed hunting is not actually hunting, it is antler FINDING, SEARCHING, EXPLORING. I am not driving deer off of my property and I am not tearing up anyones property, I will use a 4-wheeler because it helps me acheive my goal of simply finding out what kind of deer are still in the area. I am not out with a truck shooting sheds, I am not poaching for sheds, because there is no such thing, that is a horrible example, it is nothing alike and you know it. I can't wait for the day that a law comes out that says "No Shed hunting From Any Vehicleof ANY KIND" That would really show the ignorance of our DNR. You walk all youwant, but you don't call me a "cheater" because I can ride a 4-wheeler and see a shed and pick it up. I can call you a cheater for using glasses, for using boots to get more traction on hills, for wearing a coat to stay out longer and not get cold, for using a backpack to put antlers in, for taking the antler from its natural state of rest. FACE IT, You cannot leave the woods the same as it was when you came in, because you are taking things out of it. this thread has absolutely no real and strong point. I am a Lazy Slob Scumbag? .... thats nice to call a fellow hunter just doing what he can to find an antler. You took this simple aspect of finding a shed antler, and you turned it into a limited rules and traditional hunting game. I will Follow all rules of Deer hunting, but finding an antler? be realistic, its not cheating.
