Nope, no sheds, but I am not much into them either. I may walk 5 feet out of my way for one, if it is an easy 5 feet. I know they're worth money so if it is convenient I will grab one but other than that---if I didn't shoot it, I don't want it. I've left hundreds laying in the brush over the years. I don't know why but I just can't get interested in shed hunting, other than using it as an excuse to get out and hike around. The few times I got motivated and set out in search of sheds, I easily got distracted and ended up blasting prairie dogs and rabbits anyhow  .

Was just telling the wife that I think I’m gonna do a spring bear hunt in either WY or MT next spring. Sucks that Colorado doesn’t have a spring season.

I’m no hard core “shed hunter” by any stretch, but I like stocking my flower beds with bone. Made a lamp or 2 out of em as well... good luck on the fawn killers.

I wasn't able to go this year due to other obligations, but my buddies just got back from Idaho and went three for three on spot and stalk bears (saw 14 bears in 7 days between them).

Daughters BC black bear. 115gr partitions from her .257 Roberts worked well. Saw 30+ bears and could have shot many more. Was looking for a brown one for her second bear. Saw one really big old sow that might have got shot if she didn't have cubs with her. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/72717.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/72718.jpg) Great stuff! Congrats!

Season closed here yesterday. I was only able to hunt 2 days. Had good action and called in a sow and cub plus one other bear that busted me. Saw one I didn't have time to stalk. Had one come thru camp that made a pest of himself. Sow and cub called in with a fawn bleat. She didn't want to leave- ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/aw7yhV2.jpg) Wish I'd had more time to hunt, things really heated up the last trip out.
