You have to believe me it's true. I am shed hunting on my second year and I am an addict. Go horn hunting in whatever free time I can get. All year around.
So on my recent hike I glassed this antler from quarter mile couple hundred feet lower across a deep ravine on a shelf in the open easy peasy to pick up later. I decided to stay on my side at about 7.5K altitude and I was constantly pointing my binos to that shed. Was still visible couple hours later.
I stumbled on several mule deer sheds (one set and two singles) walked on the set and glassed two chewed four pointers. Very close to each other but one side, then decided to turn back and pick up that elk antler across the draw. Still there here I come crossing the creek and climbing higher to look for a possible match.
Nothing else found I approach the glassed location. No shed wtf?! I am circling around and circling and zigzagging. Nothing. I consider myself pretty good in cartography and terrain awareness but this decent size antler can't just disappear?
Then I saw it. The thing walked dragging his whale tail. I have a picture to prove it
Have you ever been in situation like this?
