Title: When to look for elk sheds in clockum/teanaway area?
Post by: BigTines on March 28, 2014, 02:39:39 PM: First time I will be out looking for sheds for the Yakima area herds. When do they usually drop? Is it time yet? Thanks!

I think over the past few years I have figured out that they fall when they fall and not a minute before. I have pics on my game cams of them fighting last week, antlers locked just waiting to see them drop in the next frame.... but nothing.

Maybe this weekend I will find the matches to the three I found last week.

I think I have seen the match to one from last year in another thread. The pic of the antler looks just like the game camera pic of the guy I have packing it on private property. Gotta love your neighbors, I guess no trespassing only applies if you are there to enforce it. :tup:

Good luck out there, with the light snow this year they are going to be spread out, you are going to have to burn some leather.
