I work on the water most days. The night before I head out, I get gear prepped and grab sunglasses with a lens that fits the particular brand of fishing I’ll be doing. But lately, I’ve been grabbing one set, every single day, no matter the conditions or fishing I’ll be doing: The Bajío Cocho with a Violet Mirror Lens. Whether I’m chasing bass on a lake, inshore fishing in Florida, or throwing flies at trout out of a driftboat, I can’t help but pick them up.

Shed hunting sounds simple because, technically, it is. Deer, elk, moose, and all other cervids drop their antlers every year, and people go looking for them. That’s the bare-bones version. However, there’s a whole lot more to it than just that. Good shed hunters know when animals are likely to drop, where they spend the hardest stretch of winter, and how to search those places without wasting miles or pushing already stressed wildlife around. That’s what separates a productive day from a long hike with a sunburn and nothing to show for it. The majority of my shed finds have…
