Hobbes, I hear ya' ! I say the same thing! This is the year though. I have been out about 6 times so far. Got lucky on my first trip! Also I sure have learned alot about my areas where I bowhunt! Very interesting, found a bedding area also a few rubs around some BIG trees in the same area. Trails, Trails and more Trails! Can' t wait to get back out shed hunting as well as Bowhunting! good luck!
