Hey folks, I know that i am a little early on this topic, but i am wanting to get my dog out and attempt to get her into shed hunting. I figure i should have been working with her earlier, my bad i know. She is a 2 year old brittany with more energy than 15 kids on a sugar high, and she is always into learning something new, she trains very well, so far anyhow. I am just wanting some info on how to go about training her, and if she will be a good dog to use. Thank you for your time.

Here is a link they may still have some training videos for your dog and shed hunting. www.crookedcreekantlerart.com
I have a lab he is 1 year and 8 months old. I have been trying to train him on my own. This past spring he found six antlers and brought them to me all on his own. Then the others that we found I spotted and had him look until he found them for me. Really nice for a pup. I got him when he was about 7 weeks old and I never let him play with or chew on anything except for antler's. I would take old antlers when he was small and toss them for him to chase after and pick up. As he got older I would wear rubber gloves and then throw antlers for him to fetch out in the field and bushes, Then I would go hide antlers and then take him out to see if he can find them. Even had a few other people to hide them by tossing them so he wouldn't smell wear I or they had walked. I think he did rather well. Have been tossing a few around lately so he can keep the idea in his head. Come spring we will see if he remembers any of it. I hope he does.

I would never stop hunting sheds,I have found several from previous year while out rabbit ,squirrel or just exploring the woods. we had a brittany named Sampson that was a natural,he spent a good deal of the time chasin quail but would come up with an antler now and then.the most important part would to be spending time in the woods.wise man says you cant catch fish if your not fishin

won't be long and they will start dropping. I can't wait. I love that just as much as acutally hunting.
