Title: More elk sheds.
Post by: hunterofelk on April 05, 2007, 08:13:56 PM: I don't get to go as often as I want, but the times I've gone have been great. I love spring. Love to see the snow melt away and the grass grow green. The elk antlers are main reason I'm out there, though.

I'm pretty sure I found an antler from the same bull in the spring of 2003.

One antler shed last year. Finally found it this year.

Post by: boneaddict on April 06, 2007, 11:42:07 AM: They must shed the left side and eat the right side because thats mostly what I found. I went a little further than I usually do and I was sure glad I did, but then the trip back sure stunk. I'll try to get some atls up for you all sometime this weekend.

Post by: boneaddict on April 07, 2007, 07:42:21 AM: You're %100 right Miles. I should say the pain stunk. Thankfully I'm a big guy, but that was a ton of bone, and my knees and feet were killing me. I'm still trying to recover. As I posted elsewhere, this is the most bull elk I have ever seen. MANY survived the season last year.
