Who we are

Welcome to "Check out that rack". My brothers and I are avid shed hunters. This is the place where our adventures will be posted and documented. If you enjoy the outdoors, wildlife and utter back country adventure then follow us. 
Shed hunting season has begun. If you heard this and thought, "what kind of guy makes a blog about his everlasting quest at the local Home Depot for a shed?" then you haven't got the right idea. Shed hunting is the search for fallen antlers. Now when I say antlers, I do not mean horns. Regardless of common misappropriation, deer, elk and moose do not have horns. This is a common misunderstanding, but one that I do not forgive. Antlers and horns are entirely different. For one, horns do not shed. Which is the entire point of this blog. Sure, every once in a while I might post a backpacking adventure, or a camping trip. I might even be willing to let you in on our hunting successes.
Every year, from December to May, deer, elk and moose loose their antlers.Moose begin in December, while deer lose theirs from Feb to the end of March. Elk on the other hand seem to keep a fairy good grip on theirs until April and even into May. Needless to say, this provides my brothers and I will a lot of time devoted to the treasure hunt. Each shed is unique and when found, adrenaline rushes through out veins. You might even feel that adrenaline throughout this year as you see our finds.
Hope you enjoy this blog! It's sure to be a success!
