She's not a shed dog by any means, but since she's been a pup, she's always chewed on antlers.. She pretty much packs them around wherever she goes. If I throw them into the woods, and send her, she'll go get them, but she doesn't seem to bring the ones she finds back to me.. Kinda just stops and sniffs them and picks them up and drops them. But, she hunts really close, so I usually just watch her.
If your pup likes his 'horns' he will probably eventually start to pick them up when he's in the woods
