Anyone finding BT sheds?
« on: March 01, 2013, 08:15:55 AM »
I haven't seen many posted on here and was just wondering if anyone was doing any good. I went out 2 weeks ago but I was with my wife who doesn't care for the rain too much so didn't really get to look for very long. I know it's a little late but hopefully there are still a few left when I go tomorrow.

I found a few the last couple years years but the reward to effort ratio is tough for true westside Blacktails & the hiking around  my area is thick, thorny & dark so I am  not looking much this year - holding out for some eastside Benchlegs/Mulies or elk once I can get over there.

The westside around the convergence zone is some of the hardest area to get around from my experience,

Good luck - hope you post a few!

Nope, I keep looking on my pasture where my son found one once, and around all fences/barriers they have to jump.

No luck for me. Waiting for my Lab to be born in Apr to turn into shed dog. So maybe have some luck next year. Starting to wonder if any bucks are left.
