Antler Shed hunting with dogs
I am looking for input on shed hunting with dogs. i have a 2 year old male beagle that loves to fetch & return stick,bones,balls,etc. I haven't had time to train him to run rabbits ,but I walk him on a leash for about an hour every evening/night because he started running deer instead of rabbits. I was concerned that he would eventually get hit by a car. Since he loves chasing bones when we play I thought that maybe i would try & train him to seek out sheds. .......any input would be appreciated on how to get started. Thanks, G.H.

RE: Antler Shed hunting with dogs
There is a guy on bowsite.com in the Oregon section by the name of Bhuntn that has a Labrador that finds deer and elk sheds. you might not be able to use your dog since it has a bad habit of chasing deer now.
