| That's a possibility I didn't consider. You may be right. The spots I went to are pretty thick, and I didn't see any other bootprints, so maybe that's it. Either way, the next few weeks should be good for looking for them. | ||

Yeah I found these in a trap. The field is on the other side of 528 near Great Adventure. I think I've covered about 2000 acres of the mills so far only 12000 to go. I will have to quit looking soon My bonsai trees will take up all my free time soon. I have one spot that I was seeing a big 10pt that will probaly be the last place I look then quit for this year. __________________ Vice President Ocean County Federation Of Sportsmans Club Life Member UBNJ NAHC NRA Member Black Knight Bowbenders

| I went shed hunting this weekend... found my first one! I was so excited... it was only one side, two points. But I still couldn't believe I found one... i'm usually so oblivious to everything. Buckman37 has got a trained eye tho...he found at least 2 this weekend, one of them being one side of a real nice ten pointer...never saw that deer hangin in the area before, so it was a great find! Can't wait to get out there again before the ticks get real bad | ||

Me and Mike K hit the mills this mourning 3 hours we found five sheds. Mike found the first a 3pt. Then I found a small forkhorn. The next spot I found a matched set to a nice 8pt laying about 10yd apart and a small spike not too far from there

Jon55NJ had his dog out yesterday, training him to find sheds.
He seemed to be catching on fast. We hid 6 sheds around a brushy field numerous times and he found them pretty quick. He knew to bring them back to Jon. I was amazed he could smell a shed... What the heck can a shed smell like? He definitely got downwind of them though, and he'd stop and come back right for it! Amazing. I found a tiny spike while we were walking around. Seems I'm still better than the dog!  __________________ "Only in dictionaries does SUCCESS come before WORK." -Alfred K. Henderson

| I hunted Allaire years ago. Really only saw a couple small bucks. I hunted off of W. Hurley Pond Rd though. I live about 10 minutes from Manasquan WMA and wanted to try there a few times. I've also walked the sections of Allaire down the street from the Manasquan WMA and it looked good there too. Never got a chance to hunt either though. I hunt private now, but still would love to give both a try next year. | ||
