Still Packing
« on: March 16, 2009, 06:12:57 PM »
I had 6 Branched Bulls in the Field at work today from 4 to 6 Points they all had Bones on their heads and were pushing each other around, there were also 4 Spikes and 3 2 points, The trick is going to be keeping other guys from chasing them back across the River before they drop their (Don't hurt Me) HORNS! That's for you Antler Guys. Its no secret were they are they, spend most of their time behind Safeway in Enumclaw.

I thought they would start dropping them by now to, but to my amazement, I seen a nice herd on Saturday with 8 Bulls, from a dandy 6x6 to some spikes and they all had their headgear still.

Every shed hunter gets one "freebee" middle of the road find.  Hope you like it because it likely won't happen again.  (I got my bloody 4pt a few years back)  ;)

Sounds like you have used up all your luck for the year.  I wouldn't even bother putting in for the draws...

Post some pics!  Let's see some sheds...
