Over here on the east side, our snows just starting to melt. Most places have been inaccessible. Last year, I found them hiking around, off the road while driving and one right in the middle of the road. I try and take a mental catalog of the most used trails in the snow, than hike the area when it thaws. Works ok for me. Good luck |

THAnks again guys! Really appreciate all the advice! Like I said, I’m headed over the mountains to a spot where we saw a Tom of deer last weekend and try to get a little further out where people are less likely to go.. I also really like the tip about watching the sides of the roads. Bet most people aren’t doing that while driving. I know I’m usualy not. Gonna make my brother drive this time! Ha.. 👍 I’ll let y’all know how we did when we get back. |

So just to update how bad I am at Shed hunting. Went back out with my brother (who drove) and we spent about 4 hours hiking around. My brother found 3 and I found ZERO!! To top it off, I’ve been out 3 times since now looking for deer/elk sheds. Once on the Eastside and twice on the west side. I’ve seen more elk sign (tracks, Pooh and rubs.. countless rubs the last two trips out on the west side). I have found a total of ZERO sheds this year. I think I’ve now spent 250.00 in gas, put a thousand miles on my new car and probably 40 hours looking. The struggle continues!! I’m off tomorrow and headed back out. I think I’m going to head back to the Eastside as long as the pass looks okay. At least I’m getting lots of exercise and fresh air! Lol... |

Sounds like you rock at shed hunting. :tup: Sounds like you suck ar shed finding! :chuckle: Keep at it as when you get on some horn it will be that much more of a success. |

Haha! Yeah, you’re absolutely correct!! I am good at the hunting just horrible at the finding! Usually I don’t care so much, but I really want to find a few for knife handle materials for the class I have coming up. I do agree though, makes it that much more rewarding to find if they aren’t easy to come by. It’s just crazy seeing the piles that people post up on social media and even here for that matter! At least I’m getting lots of good practice in! |
