We've added about 24 more since this photo, but only one really cool one so really you're not missing much.

Here's some of the fresh ones with sets in the middle (awesomely unique set in the middle right!)

One of our really nice whitetails...

Some of the whites:

Big 4, little 4..

Another of the little 4...

More of the browns:

One of my mother's awesome sheds:

And at least one atl (since it isn't pictured in that group)

And I've already seen a bear and a ton of grouse (didn't get a photo of the bear because it surprised me in a thick draw at about 30 yards)

...some of the other photos are having a difficult time loading so that's it for now.

Thanks! We've been having a ton of fun... my mother is sick and my boyfriend is back to work so it appears the shed pickin' is all up to me from here on out.

As a matter of fact I do!

.. it makes it pretty easy when you only have 2 or 3 stepping out shoes and then a few pairs of running and hiking shoes.

Dang do you ever think about saving some for the rest of the people??

I hope you will be making something with them.

At some point we'd like to... its hard to find a horn cool enough to drill but that you aren't so attached to that if you ruined it (because I'm sure its a steep learning curve) you wouldn't be too heartbroken over.

Yeah! How'd you do?? I don't have internet at my new place so didn't get your message... so I shed hunted behind my new house. Spotted two from my bedroom window!

Ended up with 3 for the day... match set 2 and a nice little 3.I didn't hit it too hard because I needed to unload some stuff from our trailer to make the place more like "home".

Gotta love a place where you can find sheds from your house!

Shed Stud · « **Reply #23 on:** March 24, 2011, 05:48:06 PM »

That's an awesome picture with all the loaded packs. Great job! Looks like a fun day with friends.

I wouldn't mind a few of those! Pretty good year, congrats

hirshey · « **Reply #27 on:** March 29, 2011, 08:02:13 PM »

Thanks! Our group of folks ended up with 40+ the last three days... photos to follow. 15 are mine.

One with the base as big as a beer can's diameter and the eyeguard as tall as a can! A matched set 4 and some other nice ones.

BEER CAN SHED! BEER CAN SHED!

I don't have internet at my house yet so it takes sitting outside the library to post... I'll get the photo WITH the beer can loaded soon... I got all the way down here and found out its not loaded on my computer!

But here's an as it layed photo, group of horns from me, the beau and a pal of ours, and on my kitchen table. Would have LOVED to see this buck a few years ago... it has a lot of traits of an old regressing buck. BEAUTIFUL color though; a timber buck for sure! There's pitch stuck all over the antler.

Sorry there's nothing there for reference... but like I said I'll get those photos uploaded sometime this next week I'm sure.

Oh! And I forgot... I also saw a "large coyote" that same day. We have video of it howling and barking at us through the spotting scope. Only one.

Whitenuckles · « **Reply #35 on:** April 01, 2011, 03:29:19 PM »

That doesn't look like a coyote to me!!!! Hopefully you shot it!

It certainly isn't. And while tempting, we didn't. We were already post-holing to our upper thighs and he was about 800 yards up the hill from us. Actually we didn't even have a gun with us that day.

bowhunterforever · « **Reply #37 on:** April 01, 2011, 09:29:41 PM »

One extra large yote coming up

That one shed has some serious mass

hirshey · « **Reply #38 on:** April 15, 2011, 07:47:12 PM »

Here's a few more photos...

The nice set was one my friend from the west side found walking out with me after a good long day. Added the exclaimation point for sure!

Lowedog · « **Reply #39 on:** April 15, 2011, 07:58:20 PM »

Nice ATL pics Hirshey! Way to stack em up!

TeacherMan · « **Reply #40 on:** April 15, 2011, 08:14:10 PM »

your my new idol

That pic looks like a "coyote" I got this year up in AK

he sold for just over $500

that's a fair price! most coyotes went for around $35 this year.

In all honesty I don't know what a wolf pelt goes for but $500 seems decent... although bobcats were around $800 for a nice one this year!

Most bobcat I saw went around $95 with highs around $300 but a over the top one with a purpose specific buyer could get that. Lynx in Ak are going for around $150-300 but there was one sold at auction this year for $1500

Wolves go for around $400-700 Wolverine around $400-900! All in all I spend more on fuel than I ever will recover trapping, its just fun

cool job with the sheds, makes me miss WA!

hirshey · « **Reply #43 on:** April 16, 2011, 06:45:46 PM »

Very cool.

My father's best cat went for $700 this year and his friends topped over $800; it was definitely not a usual year.

Sounds like you have plenty of wild things to play with up there.. I wouldn't miss it down here to badly!
