Huntin For Deer Antlers . . .

Went hunting for shed deer antlers today.  I make ink pens from antlers.  March and April is the time of the year that buck shed their antlers.  Since the day was dry and warm, I saw 73 on my thermometer, I went hunting.  





Since I don't hunt, I've been readin up on shed antler hunting.  I figger that if I follow a trail, my chances should be greater.  Good chance of snaggin an antler on a tree.  Of course if there are any layin around, one has to see them.  Could be hard to spot with all the leaves and branches layin around.  





I did manage to find some relatively fresh tracks, but I didn't find any antlers.  I'm thinkin there is some luck in this, just like one article I read said there is.  

 

Looks like someone marked a spot.  Didn't see anything else similiar, so I'm assumin that it isn't a trail marker.





Came upon this structure . . . Not sure if it is for people or bears.  Well the woods is a county park and there is a sizeable fishin pond nearby . . . and I haven't heard about any bears bein sighted lately . . .
