It's an old moose shed the coyote had a hay day with. Looked to be quite a few years old. It was my first moose shed.

We have found a total of 3. Bit rare to find them after8 or 9years of looking.

RE: Shed Hunting Traps
Some of you are forgetting that there is a MAJOR difference in terrian across the US. As OneShot stated, here in the south east we do not have open grassy lands like you will find in the midwest. Our land is mostly thick, nasty, and often swampy. I look and look every year, but rarely find more than two or three sheds a year. They are nearly impossible to find here.
As for the "trap". You don't have you use chicken wire. You can use a single strand of wire and pour the corn directly under it. You can also pour the corn at the base of a tree (if the buck's rack is big enough). You can do it all sorts of ways.

RE: Shed Hunting Traps
same for me to... here is the way i look at it excluding the shed trap and its ethics. If you do the leg work you will learn so much more about your quarry. You will find where scrapping activity took place, rubbing. you might find that special bottle neck, buck bedding areasor just learn about your woods in general to be able to see the big picture when the season rolls around. No traps for me, Ill take the learning aproach to shedding

RE: Shed Hunting Traps
Some guys just like to find tons of sheds. They don't care about scouting, etc. What do you learn by finding one in the middle of a cut corn field? That he got hungry? I walk for mine, don't own an ATV and baiting is illegal here. I have permission to shed hunt a few places that I can't deer hunt on. If legal, it wouldn't bother me to set up a device there, since hunting its out of the question.

RE: Shed Hunting Traps
I know some kids that started putting corn under some kind of rope contraption that they built to knock off sheds on deer and a small buck got his antlers in it and they didnt come off and it killed the deer. I am against this idea it is not a good one
