I recall seeing a thread out there for this already

I think everyone is a bit standoffish to post sheds this year after the backlash the first poster received last year.

Here I'll start it off, here's my haul so far as of 2018!

Found this one. Looks like last year's but was on a trail that I checked last year. Was probably a late one. The trail goes under some low hanging fir branches and always seemed like a good place to knock one off. Very heavy but not a huge base.

Decided to go shed hunting two weeks ago in an area that is heavy in Blacktail, controlled access, and I KNOW of only one other guy who specifically shed hunts the area (I think any sheds found by other people are incidental finds, like the landscape crews). Came out into an East facing clearing and picked up the large one on the right...decided to continue down that edge of greenbelt and found the one third from the right. Looked pretty hard but couldn't find the match for either. Continued looking for an hour or so more and on my way back I happened to look along an edge that transitions from grass to Scotch Broom, also East facing, and found another year-old shed, then immediately spotted the match about a foot away.
This is my first post in the forums...just wanted to say I really enjoy seeing your guys' finds!
-
Nice finds Dr Strange. Welcome to the forum
-
Nice finds, the right one is a stud! :tup:
-
First sheds of the year. Picked up two on Tuesday in a new area for me. Technically both blacktails but...I'll admit that they are benchleg sheds. Shed on the right is my biggest deer shed to-date. Found it tines down, buried in the leaves. It is at least from a 2017 shed, maybe a bit older. Fingers crossed for round 2 tomorrow!
-
That is HUGE!
-
1st time out this year, found this old spike. Pretty cool, it's like 2 feet long. Talked to a guy that picked up 2 fresh ones right on the road a couple days ago, so they are starting to drop.
-
Broken main beam
-
No luck yesterday. Came across 2 bucks still packin' though... big one and a little one. Couldn't get a pic of the smaller.
-
First one of the year, right next to my house

Snow needs to go!

Pathfinder101, look close around that set of packers, great rub off spot

Picked this one up at my buddy’s feet as we were bsing for about 10 minutes standing on top of it
-
Dylanb I remember doing that one day with a buddy I looked down and asked him to pick up a 3inch spike. Funny how things happen if we wouldn’t have met up to bs on the road the shed count would have been 1 less😄😄

Interesting how people are wearing their hunting gear out to find sheds. Is that to air it out then get it smelling like sweat and break it in? To each is own.

My “hunting gear” is my hiking gear. Only difference for me is early season/late season gear. I’d think for most it’s the most versatile/ best stuff they own. It always amazes me when I see guys hiking around in Blue jeans. Must pack huge jugs of goldbond with um

What do you wear for a leisurely day amongst the squirrels Sky? “I’m my biggest fan” jammies?
-
LOL well personally I wear my hiking pants, an under armor top or merino wool something comfortable. I myself choose not to wear my Kuiu or Sitka hunting gear as I don't want it getting heavy human scent on it or wearing it out as I pay a lot more for my hunting gear than my daily squirrel chasing, hiking, mushroom picking, scouting gear. But that could just be me doubt it. Its just like I see guys at work wearing their hunting gear and go straight to hunting camp which I prefer not to do. :twocents:

Yeah - must be Colorado, do not see many loads like that here is Wa, fair amount of White as well. Been a loooong time since I had a hike like that :bash:

Yes, it’s Colorado. Never had days like that with elk in Washington. I used to clean up on whitetail In Washington, but that was before it got real popular.

Cool cabin. Where's that at? And don't say " in the woods" !! Kinda looks like some Blair Witch project chit going on there!!

My family has had a lot of fun finding antlers this year. We covered a lot of miles and spent some great quality time together! The year started out with some blacktail searching

WOW amazing job finding those small sheds
-
A cool old heavy horned BT. Wish I'd of found him fresh. I have 3 years of his matching sets... All old finds
-
The short version is that my wife found this set when nature called. We were baiting bears and pulled over to look at a potential tial site in idaho. When we hopped out the truck we noticed a tire leaking. My dad and I patched it and turned on the compressor as my wife answered nature's call. I popped my head up when she screamed my name over the compressor and walked back on the road with this pair.

Best shed find story of the year haha! Nice set to boot! :tup:

thats quite a few blacktail bones. Let’s see all the elk already.

Brother got the ball rolling with the years first elk finds, then my mom found a huge matching set!

There we go! I’m sure that’s not all off them?

That's too cool!

If you don't mind me asking, what rough elevation are you guys finding elk sheds right now? I've only been in the west for a year now and dream of finding a nice elk shed. Thanks.

I’m in Colorado so probably not relevant to Washington, but I’ve been finding most between 7,500 and 8,500.
-
Not sure how helpful this is, but we find them from the river bottoms to well over 4000'. That can vary from winter to winter...

Brother found some good ones

Found this BIG boy. We spent a lot of time looking for the other side. My brother found the other side of this bull the year prior, and same thing, couldnt match him up. 3 options...
1) Someone else has the other sides
2) This bull packs his other side around for a while before dropping.
3) He only grows one side each year! :chuckle:
-
Damn nice finds!

Nothing that can compete with Watimberghost. But I stumbled on this rag horn earlier this spring. Sorry about the background, camera must not of been in focus.

Holy whale tails watimberghost!! :yike:

You guys are picking up some great bone, everywhere I’ve been this year was picked clean before my kids and I got out. Maybe next year.

Picked clean or no elk? The usual spots that produce were vacant of bulls for us this year. Had to go elsewhere to find the 60+ we picked up. Must have been the late winter changed their usual habits? :dunno:

Fun overnight trip with a buddy of mine this spring.

If anyone is looking to sell a few sheds I'd love to hear from you. Fiance wants to get some to use for wedding decorations!

I had always heard Oak Creek was packed, but amazing how we didn't see anybody in there in March! :chuckle: No, never been to Oak Creek.
I know you were kidding; but its comments like this that cause people not to post on the forum.

Watimberghost, them is some massive sheds, where you find 'em

I'm guessing "on the ground" is the best answer you are going to get. Shed hunting locations are a tough one. If you find a good spot it is normally good year after year. Posting the location on an open forum for all to see is the best way to ruin a good spot.

Not mine but my partner picked this up

:yeah:
A lot of miles have gone into finding good spots. And even those good spots get covered with more and more miles. So I'm going to have to go with rainier's answer... On the ground... most of the time

Some great finds! That pistol really gives that paddle some perspective! Nice bone all :tup:

I thought it was tha years drop, but it's got some green on it, and a critter chewed on it, so I think it's from last year. It was in the deep dark timber, so it's still got good color

That's always cool when you can get a picture of the animal you found the sheds from
-
I'm sure the right side antler (looking from rear of 2nd elk) that is not matched up is still out there. Probably find it later.
-
A good day
-
Let's see the rest of it!!!
-
Saw it on Facebook. Thing is a hog! Congrats Yager, come on show it off! What a tank
-
Yeah, I was stoked when I found it, I was walking a blocked off road, and looking in the ditch. I could just see the tips sticking up, there was so many points sticking up, I thought it was 2 sheds laying on top of each other. Now I got to wait for the brush to fade away this fall so I can try to match it up.
-
Beauty! There’s no way I could wait to try to match up the other side!!!
-
How long is the first tine?
-
awesome Yager
-
How long is the first tine?
It's 16.5 inches

Good golly.
What a great find. Congrats. :tup:

Late season pays off - nice Rosie Shed!

I know, but the damn brush is up to my armpits, can't see in there at all. Gotta wait

Wow that thing is huge, good job

Nice! I love finding treasures while hunting :)

I picked up something a little different for my collection. Wish the other side was there, but no such luck.

No, that would be a lot cooler. Got it up above the arctic circle. It was laying on the tundra just a few hundred yards from the beach.

Forgot to post this, shot my opening morning Blacktail, so I looked for sheds the rest of the day.

Nice Yager

That's quite the cherry on top to a great day! Nice job Old Man!

Forgot to give you guys an update..... I went and looked for the other side. No luck, they went in and slash cut all the alders in there. It's a damn mess in there now. I'm sure one of the workers probably found it.

Nice yager :tup:
Pups been driving mama crazy :chuckle: cooped up for the last few weeks. Took her for a good walk near home to look for bucks and get some excercise, she dug up this cute little guy.

One of the only sheds I have ever found on the piece of land I deer hunt. I know they're out there, but the grass makes it nearly impossible to find them.
Worst part is; I buckled it to my pack, killed a deer an hour later, and when I took off my pack it was gone... :bash: :bash:

At least you got the buck but that sucks to hear. I go right after the snow is gone which helps with some of the grass. Especially if you go when all the grass is green, they stick out.

Busted a Blacktail while walking through the woods three days ago; he was a nice three point but was still packin' both sides.
Walked the same path today and found this. Looks like his and it's fresh. It'll be my last shed for '18 and I'm hoping the other side is the first for '19.
