PathfinderJR's find this spring.  Not actually a shed, it was busted off at the base...

Not too difficult though I'd walked over that second antler Lord knows how many times over the past couple years.

I wish i would of taken a pic of this one shed i found, it would be perfect for this topic. I was standing under some pines with a tick pine needle covering on the ground. I was waiting for my buddy to come over and happened to look down. I saw a funny looking stick poking out about two inches, so decided to check it out. One good tug on it and i pulled out a 4 pt elk shed right out of the ground. My buddy couldn't believe it.


"where did you find that one"

"In that hole right there"

Directly right from the dogs nose (tine sticking out of the grass).

Right on the nose! That didn't take long. ;)

Bluebulls,

Top pic...top middle of the spotting scope ring looks to be one?

Bottom pic...near the right base of that tree I think I see 2 tines pointing up...and an extremely large 7pt elk shed near the top left that you must have missed :chuckle:?

I see one down there at the base of that yellow tree. Looks to be a non typical 6 point.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
