Pretty grainy pic, but pretty cool

klickriverchromer · « **Reply #10 on:** April 17, 2011, 07:20:14 PM »

Tried a new spot and had some excellent success.. Figured I'd share with everyone.. Not to often that I find a set like this

Jerome · « **Reply #11 on:** April 19, 2011, 03:15:02 PM »

Lets try this out. First ever entry. My youngest boy with a 2011 blacktail shed.

RClare1223 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 20, 2011, 08:47:28 PM »

not really sheds but the best find ive had so far.

klickriverchromer · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2011, 08:39:16 PM »

RClare1223, Those are some DARK horns.. I love dark horned critters. Is that a Rosie,or just a big dark timber bull? Nice find! Did the game a fish let you keep'em or did u just leave'em to the critters to chew on?

Scouting turkey.... and find a spike...

klickriverchromer · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2011, 09:02:38 PM »

Those are some big daggers!

saylean · « **Reply #17 on:** April 21, 2011, 09:26:58 PM »

Some really great photos on here. I gotta say, I like the dinosaur/spike.

That dead elk intact is great too.

klickriverchromer · « **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2011, 09:24:09 PM »

Here's another pic from this season. I was sitting on the hill taking a break and looked over about 15-20 yards from me and saw the sword sticking out of the grass..

elkaholic · « **Reply #19 on:** April 22, 2011, 09:50:54 PM »

Nathan- Nice pic, great find!

woodman · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2011, 07:28:09 PM »

Ran into this guy when shed hunting. I have wondered if an animal took him down or if he got away from a hunter.

YoterHunter · « **Reply #21 on:** April 23, 2011, 09:45:26 PM »

nice 4 point with eye guards

WAmuleyHunter · « **Reply #22 on:** April 23, 2011, 09:56:54 PM »

Great find Woodman ! That is what I thought when we found our little guy.

Thanks, one person wrote that it was a 4 point with eye guards but it actually is a 5 point with eye guards. The back tips are buried in the dirt in the picture. I was torn on what pic to show since you can only show one here. I do have a pic from the back side with the tips out of the dirt but you can not see the skull in that one. That picture actually shows the size much better but opted for this one when the wife liked this one better.

No, he didn't drop it when I was watching. And actually, I'm going to have to withdrawl that pic from the contest, I didn't read the rules apparently! That pic was from a couple years ago, but it's a pretty cool story. When I find the rest of the pics associated, I'll start a new thread on it.....

PlateauNDN · « **Reply #26 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:32:23 AM »

There's some pretty awesome pics posted and the three bulls' with the skulls attached were great! Thanks for sharing everybody!

ATL, 2011 Elk Sheds

danderson · « **Reply #28 on:** April 26, 2011, 10:38:10 PM »

thats awsome, how far away did you spot em.

PickNbone · « **Reply #29 on:** April 27, 2011, 09:18:15 AM »

a good 200 yards away

10Key · « **Reply #30 on:** April 27, 2011, 09:38:56 AM »

Found this bad-boy turkey hunting the 2011 opener in NE WA, not a typical shed, but I think it is worthy for a cell-phone pic. 5x5 whitey:

Carnivore · « **Reply #31 on:** April 27, 2011, 11:37:22 AM »

Again, not sheds so maybe doesn't count but cool anyway.

Craig · « **Reply #32 on:** April 27, 2011, 06:56:43 PM »

Found this one in Montana.

danderson · « **Reply #33 on:** April 27, 2011, 10:59:11 PM »

thats great, picknbone , the ones that you spot at long distance are the best, I get to laughing when I find one like that, because I know know its not been picked over.

boneaddict · « **Reply #34 on:** May 01, 2011, 10:03:17 PM »

seems like the month slipped by. I'll try to get the poll up tomorrow along with this months contest.

boneaddict · « **Reply #35 on:** May 08, 2011, 07:46:06 PM »

Can someone else do this poll, I just don't have time

jackelope · « **Reply #36 on:** May 08, 2011, 08:01:50 PM »

I'll do it later
JB
