Elk bonanza
«

April 06, 2007, 07:02:34 AM »
I had the best day ever elk shedding yesterday. They were dropping everywhere. I basically watched several bulls drop. I actually didn't see the antlers fall, but one minute the elk would be walking with a pair of antlers and the next minute they would be missing them. I found 15 elk sheds and two deer. What a day. I'm a hurting unit, and there are tons of bulls left out there still packin and shedding. I'll get some pics up as soon as possible.

Timing is everything. Last weekend I walked till my knees ached. I always wonder how many I miss. It does help when a guy sees a bull with and then without. I'm glad there are so many branch antlered bulls in that country. Happy you found so many. I've never found that many in one day. I would have gotten tired and headed back to the truck. I love that area and I wish I lived closer.
Oh yeah, I watched two bulls, five points, fight each other for fifteen minutes and everything looked solid on their heads. I searched for the match to the big antler I found, but came up with nothing.
I keep all the antlers I find and I'm running out of room, so I'm happy with what I've found so far. I do love hiking around the hills in spring and I won't leave any antlers behind.

This is eastside. This is the most bull elk I have ever seen. Last season was nasty for the hunters and it shows. I've never seen so many spikes. I hear you on the knees hurt part. In fact I was going to be shedding this whole weekend, but I figured I'd just visit with my Dad and enjoy my success. Let others have a good day.

I stack them relentlessly all over my house. I'm about to do a chandelier, but can't talk myself into drilling yet.
Here was the first one that fell off right in front of me.
I wish they were all this easy.
I wish I would have found the match to this one.
this was a hawg 5 point. No match
more to come later!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm wishing now that it had satisfied my appetite. I'm itching to go out again. I bet many of them have been scooped by now though.
