Shed hunting with dogs

This can be a great way to find deer antlers and is also very rewarding for a dog owner.First, you must establish a command, such as "find the horn" or "fetch the antler". After you have established a command, you must show the dog what it is looking for. You can do this by playing fetch with an old horn. When you are playing fetch, you want to make sure your scent does not get on the horn. We used latex gloves. Next, hide the antlers throughout the woods and fields, leaving them for a few days. After a few days, go back with your dog and let him find them. Once you are in the general area, use the command that was established earlier. If the dog finds the sheds, give them alot of praise and you will soon be on the right track.
