In many parts of New York the bucks have already shed their antlers due to a poor acorn crop and lack of food this season. With fresh antlers on the ground I figured there's no better time to start the 1st annual Shed Hunting Contest than now!
With that, I announce the rules of the 2009 Shed Hunting Contest sponsored by Posten Stabilization and Select Archery. The contest will be held in the Scouting & Shed Hunting section of the NYbowhunter.com Forum.
1. You must be a registered member of the NYbowhunter.com Forum and reply to the SIGN UP THREAD to be officially enterd into the contest.2. Sheds must be from 2009. Please no sheds from previous seasons.3. You must be in a photograph with your shed and post it to the PHOTO SUBMISSION THREAD along with the date the shed was found.4. The contest will begin February 1, 2009 and run through April 1, 2009. The winners will be announced in April after the Shed Hunting Contest has closed.5. There will be two winners: one for the largest shed and one for person who finds the most sheds. If the largest shed is too close to call, the shed will have to be measured by an official scorer and the shed with the highest gross score will be determined the winner. If there is a tie for the most number of sheds found, the set of sheds with the highest number of points over 1" in length will be determined the winner.
As soon as the snow melts, get out there and start looking for sheds! In the meantime, here are 10 Tips for Shed Hunting.
Sounds great, count me in.
