Please post the pics, I for one enjoy seeing them. Maybe don't show the background to give away your location.

I'm headed up right now to find the match to the shed I found yesterday if I can match it up I'll post pics. Should be a 350 set, the shed I found yesterday weighs 17 lbs and where it splits off to its g5 is 12 inches around!

I took a couple days off and walked around in the rain.  Found one spike, maybe the other side of kglacken's, saw a few younger bulls
with both sides still attached and got some great exercise.  Will post a pic if I am  lucky enough to both go again and find antlers.

I've posted a few so far, I know there westside bulls and not as impressive but...
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

Also its been tough finding them in the areas I go, lots of shed hunters this year, been out just about everyday since mid march and what I've posted is all I've found.  Seen lots of bulls dropped, a bunch with just one side, and Saturday I seen one with new antler growth already.  Look forward to any of your guys antler pics, hope to see some posted.   :tup:

I saw a bull near Mt. St. Helens this past Saturday with wood still on its head. I thought it interesting.

Went snowmobiling up there two weekends ago up and stayed up in Cougar, we saw about 4 branched bulls along with at least 200 other elk on the road to cougar. On a side note, it was my first time us on the mountain and if any of you guys snowmobile you have to go up there. It's incredible.

He was a really big boy, at least a 6, but very far away.

I was out scouting for bears with my buddy and we happened to stumble across this guy. Lucky for him he was leading the pack and got dibs on the shed! Not bad for a Western Rosie.
