Sheds O' Plenty

Here are a few sheds from Monday

This one is about as fresh as they come, blood still dripping on it.

Here are a few from this morning (Saturday).

Then it started to snow....

Total find from today.....

It looks like you had a really productive day. I wish I could pick up some elk sheds around here.

That's awesome Jeff! I sure would like to go on an elk shed hunt someday soon.Nice as-they-lay shots.

How much hiking do you usually do to find an elk shed? It just seems that a guy would have to have an area to himself to find elk sheds without someone finding them first.Thanks for sharing the pics.

Again, great pics. Wish I could find a load of tine like that. It looks like you've had a far more successful weekend than I have. All I've found is a couple dinky muley sheds.

That dog looks like he's in pretty good shape too. Was he wearing a colar when you found him?

BS
The place I hunt is fairly remote, you have to climb a very steep, rocky ridge then drop way down into tamer country, nobody goes there, no competition. Once there the walking is relatively easy. After you drop into the valley I've found them as close as 1/4 mile all the way back to 3-4 miles. Saturday I hadn't found a single shed till after I had walked more than 4 miles, then I hit the motherlode. I know where I'm going tomorrow....

DK,

Sounds like you got a good honeyhole.I have a few places like that(mule deer sheds),it seems like most people are just to lazy to look at a map and do a little hiking.I need to go on an elk shed hunting trip someday,no elk around where I live.
