Anyone find any horns in the desert yet?
took a trip out there all weekend, most snow ive ever seen out there this time of year, still about 13 inches in places
You live in Cashmere and shed hunt the Desert unit?  Is there a reason?  Not trying to be a jerk just curious.  I would think you would just shed hunt right there.

to answer your question, as a hunter i feed off of knowledge and personal goals, gaining experience and exploring new areas. I   sleep, eat and breath the outdoors, my dad grew up in mosses lake and new the potholes like the back of his hand, told me the biggest mulie he ever seen he saw in the desert, now i think the desert is the coolest place to me, i always enjoy just the time i spend out there even when i dint pick up sheds or bag a dog. i have just as much of a right to be there as you or anyone else :tup:

Fair enough. Personal connection is a great reason and I wasn’t saying you don’t have a right to be there. I’ve seen big deer at potholes just never thought to shed hunt there. The biggest deer I’ve shot was in the entiat. Biggest shed I’ve found was in Swakane. That is where I do my shed hunting when I’m not working the property  at my second home in eastern Washington. Yes I’m a west side guy that has also owned a second home in eastern Washington for twenty years.  Im kind of always shed hunting there and multitask by spraying weeds or planting trees. 6,000 trees and counting. Sheds considerably less.

Thanks for the reply.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I know of a nice set pulled out of there a couple weeks ago!
That’s quite the set your holding in your avatar pic! :tup:

right on! do you know if anyone has any pics of the set, always love seeing what people are picking up,

also, thanks, unfortunately sold that set last year, i have sold 3 sets in years past that went anywhere from 360-380, and some singles that were pigs, always pops back in my mind and regret it every day. officially done selling horns, rather just be able to look through a huge pile of horns when im to old to hike :brew:

Don’t have permission to post pictures of the sheds. Probably high 160s maybe 170.

That’s tough to part with sheds at least for me I don’t get to get out often enough!

ehh, the desert unit and its potential for producing big deer is no secret and hasn't been for years really, so talking about it isn't a big deal to me, at least in my opinion
