Your Favorite?

LAST EDITED ON Jan-12-14 AT 01:06AM (MST)[p]Post up some pics of your favorite shed/sheds, elk, deer, moose... I need some motivation for shed hunting this year. Haven't seen any bald bucks yet. It's still way early for me, but seen a couple people out walking already.
Here's my favorite...

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?

BCBOY · Jan 12, 2014

HaHaHa!!! They are currently my favorite. I have others that I am fond of too but I'll wait till more shed heads chime in.

Don't have a good picture of it but the heavy one, my daughter is holding is my favorite. Tried finding that guy this summer/fall but no luck :-(
Funny thing about that shed is Madison was walking with me and I spotted it, knowing it was huge I told her look at that. I point and start to walk over to it, she sprints past me and grabs it. Then proceeds to scream "look what I found!!!"

Nothing to say except yep, you did great Madison

She then knows it is a big shed and says "Dad if I find the other side I will let you have it so you aren't so sad"
She is the greatest

Can you find the three horns? Ive never found em like this before!

A Nice set

Fun times in the mountains....

lionking · Jan 22, 2014

Glaasing into the canyon...seen this right below me! Pretty cool!

Found the other side not too far!

This was the cherry on top of a great day of shed hunting/scouting. Alot of the antlers found were older but I still found 14 of them!

Lionking, that country looks familiar. You a New Mexican?

Hunt Hard. Shoot Straight. Kill Clean. Apologize to No One.

lionking · Jan 22, 2014

Yes sir! Northern NM, and you?

TerynItUp · Jan 22, 2014

You got it, from Farmington but now I live in Rio Rancho. Looks like the Carson.

Sweet find by the way!

Yeah the Carson! I am from Espanola. Be heading down to Rio Ranch this friday to catch the Monster Trucks for my boy's birthday!
Good eye on the country recognition. Hoping to find a pile of sheds this year....I made my New Year resolution to make sure I get out and hunt for sheds more rather than talk about it! It is another way of me getting into shape! HAHA

NVPete · Jan 22, 2014

Probably my all-time favorite. I'd only just started to "catch on to my 'shediction' " when I found a large left side 7 point elk shed. I showed it to a few friends, and a fellow stopped by with what we thought was a match, but given the distance apart from where he found his and some size/ spacing, etc. discrepancies, I wasn't too sure. Eventually traded the shed which ended up mounted and on the RMEF 2011 Elk Tour as "415 Gross Nevada Sheds" bull.

fatrooster · Jan 23, 2014

Some great horn guys. Pete, love that set! fatrooster.

Kayak_to_hunt · Jan 24, 2014

Here is mine. He was a nearly perfect buck and I wish I had the other side.

Never found the other side or saw the buck again after that winter.

trophymuley · Jan 24, 2014

Typical Found him in 2005. Hiked 2 miles every day for 26 days straight to finally pick him up. Scores 213 gross 204 net. I'm sure a few of you have already seen

Non typical. I fed him in my parents back yard in 2003. First nontypical set I found. 185. Laying on top of each other. Was shot the following year and was in trophy hunter mag scoring 214.

Elk, straight five scoring 340

one_dryboot · Jan 26, 2014

This first shed is my favorite because I have history with the deer. I first saw this buck during the 2009 rifle hunt. I would have killed him but he had broke his smaller side completely off. the next year I went back to the same area and hunted him. The 3rd evening of the hunt, I found his shed not far from where I saw him the year before. The very next morning I killed him 300 yards from where I found his shed

one_dryboot · Jan 26, 2014

these are #2 on my list. Same buck but different years. Hopefully I can match them up.

ElkSniper · Jan 26, 2014

My favorite and best elk set!
ATL

On my pack

What they would look like on the hoof

It's gonna be hard to top this set but I'll have fun trying.

I estimate him at 350" what do you guys think?

Inline7 · Jan 27, 2014

LAST EDITED ON Jan-27-14 AT 01:04PM (MST)[p]Here are a few of my favorites! Second elk shed ever, I'll post the ATL of it when I find the picture, if the other side is the same or close to then he would be 370+!, First elk set, and a big 3 muley shed

DakotaSage · Jan 27, 2014

This is one of my all time favorites.

BCBOY · Jan 27, 2014

Another favourite of mine. Southern Mountain Caribou.

DesertDweller1976 · Jan 27, 2014

hey kayak I might have your other side, give me a call at 435 224 2398, my name is jared, amazing how similar they are

TerynItUp · Jan 27, 2014

Sweet set sniper, I would say your guess is pretty close.

This is not my number 1 favorite but it's up there. I love it cause it is black as night in some spots.

This next one is my favorite ATL.

And this last one was found by my Dad. It is cool just ATL.

Here is my favorite set. Never have seen of found another bull with a split main beam like that. And probably the craziest deadhead I have found.

bonepicker · Feb 4, 2014

Favorite elk set

Favorite deer set

WYO_ATL · Feb 4, 2014

First elk set I have ever found. Would go right around 360
Same day I found the first side, I also found my first moose paddle.

jemezshedhead · Feb 6, 2014

tinehunter · Feb 14, 2014

Tinehunter.

PumpJack · Feb 14, 2014

WYO, those are some awesome shots there. Great sheds. Making me want to hit the mountains.

Aaron1984 · Feb 17, 2014

Here is my all time favorite.

insideloin · Feb 20, 2014

it's been a year since I posted anything, so here is a set found with help from my son Ryan, he found the right side an hour or so after I found the left. lets say 04 give or take a year. finally got it on a skull. this may inspire some to go look . i always enjoy looking at all your pictures

I never scored it, I suppose some day I might

TheKnack · Feb 27, 2014

LAST EDITED ON Feb-27-14 AT 01:19PM (MST)[p]Quite a history with this bull.
Hunted him for 5 years and when I had about given up he was still alive I found this shed the day before muzz season.

Met up with him on the second day of the season and finished my quest.

Not the largest sheds but the most special and meaningful ones for me.
I have 6 other sheds from this same bull found over the years.
