SHOTGUNSNIPER 47 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 This is the time of year that the deer and elk shed/molt their antlers in Arizona. Buyers pay $7 to $9 per pound for fresh shed's. I saw a video about a Labrador Retriever trained to find antlers, so last year I started training my Jack Russel to find antlers. I started out with throwing a small antler for her to retrieve then we would hide anlters for her to find - allways rewarding her well for finding the hidden antlers. Last winter while on predator hunts she found antlers on two occasions - one was a size-able antler and it was humorous to see the small dog with large antler in her mouth. Doe's anybody in the UK hunt the shed antlers with or without dogs? The elk here have large antlers, way to big for my JRT to pick up... I would like to train her to bark when she finds antlers too big for retrieving - Any suggestions? Thanks SGS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit I have been sluggish on learnnig how to post pictures on here, when I first signed up I made a few efforts and have sort of given up. I know that you must have a site set up to down load the pics from and then type in the proper command sequence...... It never worked out. It's a shame - I would gladly post many of my field picture for all to view. Any help would be aprieciated..... Thanks for the reply SGS8) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OK here it is I learned how to post a pic and had a short training session with Duce so I could get you a picture. http://i1021.photobu...er/HPIM1158.jpg The antler is a shed she found this past winter - the squirrel's chew the antlers for calcium this shed had been laying for about 9 months when she found it.
