todays bone
« on: March 28, 2009, 04:48:21 PM »
I got out for a few hours this morning and found my first Spokane county elk shed.  It was last years but still a cool find.  I also found a year old whitey about 200 yards away.  I was really hoping for a moose to complete the tri-fecta.

cool.  I finally saw that herd other day, right off I90 out by the Fishtrap exit.  'Bout 30 of 'em, none of them were packin' either... so that's good news...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I have heard about them for years, but never seen them before.  I immediately called my buddy.  He said he had gotten on them (sounds like about the same area you were in) bowhunting a few years ago and accidentally chased them about a mile into Idaho.  He stopped to check his GPS and realized where he was. :yike:  Turned around and hightailed it back to WA...

Yeah, I just saw it.  Cow lying in the median.  Right about where I saw the herd the other day.

Walt, were you shed hunting in the ditch?  A Kokanee bottle laying next to a Bull shed - seems kind of fishy... :chuckle:

Nice work.

  :chuckle: No, I was pretty close to Idaho though.  I was up above where Jeff buried Gauge.  I did pack out 3 beer bottles (no, they weren't mine) and an old motor oil can.  They had all been there for years.

I think you may have encountered the site of a "shedding party".  Raghorn bulls have them about this time of year.  Get a bunch of buddies together, get a little bit buzzed, tell lies about who they bred last year, lot's of BS about how they "almost kicked the herd bulls a$$", then they start knocking each others antlers off.  Kind of like an elk-episode of "*censored*".  I have only seen it once, and I have to be honest, I lost a lot of respect for the species.

Problem is that you never find the sheds 'cause the porcupines, mice and chipmunks buy the beer and then hang around waiting for them drop.

I don't think I want to know what they use the motor oil for.  :yike:
