Does anyone else run?

I was just wondering if anyone else out there runs over to a shed when they see it. It seems that whenever i spot one I break into a full sprint as if those sheds are going to get up and run away from me. Has anyone ever heard of a shed doing that?

My brother and I sprinted towards a shed we found a couple years ago, each trying to beat the other to the dropped antler. I got there first and was kindof baffled when he kept running. Turns out he saw the match to my shed 15 yards away and never knew the other one was there. Other than times like that, I usually go into more of a jog than a sprint.

PS: They only run when you're not looking.

Sometimes I do run. Especially if it's a huge one!

I still run over to them, looking over my shoulder to see if anyone else is going to beat me to it or as if it is going to get up and run away. And that is after picking up a few. I hope I never loose that feeling.

I still run.
So far this year I've been stuck in low gear, hope this phase passes and I start running soon, I can stand to get winded.

I try not to run any more. I really enjoy checking out the shed just the way the buck left it. I don't allways have a camera but it's cool to take pictures of them before anybody ever touches them. It's still kind of slow here in Ohio but I hope things will pick up after this snow we are going to get tonite. Good luck. Buck

Nope, although I can't say I haven't picked up the pace a bit to get there. I still get a rush seeing one and want to get the most out of it. If I am shed hunting with my son and he is in the immediate area, I generally will not say anything and take my time getting there, hoping he spies it too. Might as well be both of us getting the rush of seeing it as I don't care who gets to claim it. No matter how tough of a day we have, he will run if he sees one and I get a chuckle out of it. He likes to compete. He has wised up to me when I try to steer him to a certain spot or catches me smirking when he spots one I've already seen , so I've got to be sneekier. The boy has a competitive spirit and does just fine on his own though, but I've got a soft spot for the team.

I just hope when this body can't keep up to the young body let alone run for a shed, he'll remember that and let me find/claim a few!! If not, I still got a few tricks up my sleeve and he knows I am not above pushing him in a snow bank to show him who is top dog when it comes to getting a shed. Just hope he never gets bigger then me and I find myself in a snow bank!!
