Title: Found my first good elk shed!
Post by: Recurve-Elk on May 29, 2013, 08:43:54 AM: Last year I found the base of an elk shed, the rest had been chewed off. Since then I've been hooked. I found my first pretty good shed on Sunday! It's only a 4pt, but its in good shape and the tips are polished nicely. Here it is, how I found it. Going to try to find the match this coming weekend! Any tips on finding it? I figure ill just work in circles out from where I found this one.

The really big guys tend to drop right by each one, close by at least. Good luck, you'll have fun looking at least!
