when does the hunting start?

[funkster]

The title says it all. After finding a nice elk shed during the early archery season, I think I may have got the bug! I have heard the best shed hunting starts in April. Is there any truth to this? I have a few great area's to shed hunt but I don't know when they start dropping the bone, any help would be great! Thanks in advance.

ive seen 2 bucks that have dropped already. i didnt know they drop that early. one dropped both and the other dropped one. both were little 2pts...i know the one was cause i found both his sheds about 20yds apart.

Friend saw one around me that has dropped one side. So much powdery snow though probaably wont be findable until the snow melts.
