Let it begin
-
It's already begun
-
For blacktails yes. What the earliest anyone has found a Washington mulie shed? The ones I have on camera are still packing
-
I found a mulie shed last year on January 26th. The friend I was with that day also found two. All three were fresh.
-
One Muley buck yesterday was shed both sides all the rest still packing
-
Saw a big three packing yesterday, they were pretty white though...
-

:dunno: what’s that got to do with it? Usually they turn white after sitting on the ground for a year. Not on there head.
-
Last year I found 2 fresh browns on 1/22. Both mulies. One big 4 and a small 3
-
I guess I will have to go out and check my cameras again this weekend. I have been putting off going into their bedding area but there is one giant old buck that has been hanging around that should have shed by now.
-
Saw 4 black tail bucks on Friday all packing. 2 studs 2 smaller bucks. Buddy of mine found a monster muley shed over this last weekend.
-
Found a few today. Spokane county(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200218/0b11f264ca94aec722a8b42afdc6e753.jpg)

Boy that old one has a long main beam :tup:
-
Nice. I found this little guy today
-
That color is great!
I'll be in some great shed ground tomorrow I should pick up one or two at least thats what Im telling myself
-
Wow, slow year huh?
-
I’m still seeing mulies with antlers. Had a three point with three does in my field Sunday morning. Watching a couple 7 point elk in a area they have been hanging for the last couple weeks. hoping they will not go to far in the next month
-
Me too. A couple of decent whitetail in my yard, still packin.
-
We picked up 8 today. Heres a couple alts
-
I saw two small bucks two weeks ago, one still packing one not. I saw 8 bucks yesterday including two decent bucks, all still packing. Also saw some bulls all still packing. :dunno:
-
Bulls pack into April sometimes but the deer thing is pretty weird. I saw six bulls in Cheney once and two still had antlers in May but two had velvet out to the thirds already with browtines! It was weird...
-
Finally, Took over 13 miles to break the ice this year.
-
Started the season off with a matching set. It's all down hill from here, 4 x 4 BT
-
Yeah that’s going to be tough to beat! :tup:
-
Top pic is one from yesterday. Bottom is a blacktail I found a week ago
-
Nice sheds Muleyhunter69

Matching set. Going to be tough to beat :yike: :IBCOOL: :dunno: :chuckle:
-
Geez! That's a stud!
-
A few from the pile this year
-
Picked up a fresh one today :chuckle: still a ways out for the real fresh ones.
-
That’s cool, killed a bull like that years ago, thought it was a mule deer at first.
-
big old fresh one
-
Thats a prehistoric *censored* there
-
Damn!!!
-
big old fresh one
That’s probably the coolest elk antler I’ve ever seen. How long was it?
-

i found it in a boulder patch. I saw two points sticking up and from a distance I thought it was a deer shed. Lol
-
big old fresh one
I have live pics of this bull...shot you a pm
-
Not the same bull
-
What's not the same bull? Isn't it the same antler just two different pics?
-
An oldie.
-
.
-
Awesome finds everyone! I've only found a couple old ones, no freshies yet, but hopefully soon.
-
Found a matching set about 10' apart from each other.
-
Not sure how you put them on the same page.
-
First good one of the year
-
Finally on the board for 2020 with this old guy. Was my 4th trip out shed hunting. The shed woods are sort of stingy to me this year! Ha..
-
Social distancing.
-
pretty good fronts on those paddles
-

I found one somewhat similar to yours a couple years ago.

First brown of the year.

Sweet elk antler!

Out looking for elk antlers and stumbled into this one. Don’t find many deer sheds in the area. Added bonus!
-
Big muley
-
I found another one today. The blacktail sheds are sure tough to come by.
-
Sheds from saturday
-
...
-
Still no luck with the cats but got another shed. Nice freshie. Pokin around lookin for the other side.
-
You didn’t breath on any chipmunks did you???? That white tail is a PIG!
-
The whitetails actually a year old shed. Its the match to one i found last april. About 30 yards away. It was well shaded though, so not badly bleached, and no rodent chews.
-
N ice matching set!!!
-
Got out for a quick 1/2 mile walk, found 2 oldies
-
Didn’t find any this weekend but I do have a couple spikers still packin’.
-
Saw 6 bulls this weekend. 4 still packing both sides, 1 had dropped one side and the other had shed both antlers
-
A few more from the weekend

Whoa dude! We’re they right next to each other??
-
Holy smokes thats a stud, can we get a few more pics?

I’m really not good at taking pictures of antlers ha but here is another shot. My elbows are at my side so I’m not holding them way out

:drool: What a set! (Usually save the compliment for my wife)
Congrats on the find!
-
That will be tough to top. Great find I'm jealous
-
Whoa dude! We’re they right next to each other??
ya they were laying about 10 feet away from each other! that always makes it nice haha
-
Found my first elk shed for 2020. It’s not a fresh one though. Tips have been chewed a little. My guess is last years or maybe even the year before. Don’t care either way, super stoked to break the drought!
-
Id guess it cant be older than last year based off color. Ive found sheds that were only on the ground for a few weeks but had been well chewed.
-
Yeah good point. It does have some really good color on the under side, so you’re probably right, last years shed.. the base didn’t look fresh at all. And it’s definitely a little bleached on the exposed side.
-
Regardless if when it dropped that is a great shed :tup: Congratz!
-
That's a great find! Definitely last year and in great shape!
-
Few years too late on this one
-
That would have been a nice one
-
Woupd have been, yeah. Real heavy base, big piece of bone. Left it on the mountain though, wasnt worth packing out
-
A set I found prior to closures.
-
Great set ! I wouldn’t condone you if you found them during the closure! Get out and hike!
-

Nice work, Bond!

Awesome. He’s going to be hooked now

Last years

Don’t find many deer sheds. They are the hard ones to come by. Plus my ugly mug.
-
Couple from the other day.... not what I expected to find in the area I was in.
I know there is a lot of whitetails in the area, it's a great wintering area but only on heavier snow years.
-
Son and I found some Blacktail sheds today. Great to get out with him.
-
Good find Redi
-
Very cool!

Wife laughed and had to take a pic of me after I walked in the door banging the sides of it

Here’s a few found by my man, Old Man Yager. He got a new phone so I’m posting up for him.

Glad to hear OMY is doing his usual program, hadn't seen anything from him posted in awhile. He is my shed hunting mentor he just doesn't know it. My season was not good up there this year, my spots that I found in last year were dry. Nobody on the cams before me either, and plenty of bull pics carrying, dropped, and just starting to grow. Strange season with the delayed opener figured they would be a few laying around but nada for me in 5 trips. Thanks for the motivation TBob and OMY!

Found one today.. this was my 7th or 8th trip out and close to 50 miles since my last find. Wheeeew, nice to re-set the odometer.

you are on the board !! you were due
-
Great 4 point! Regression I wonder??
-
Might be the burliest 4 or I've ever seen :yike:
-
Huge amount of genetic variation, judging age would be a guess at best. Throw in environmental differences and it only gets worse, nice find.
-
Found within 200 yds of last years same bull
-
:yike:

Last years

He became a man last year that things a beast

That amount of growth is incredible. Never seen anything of the sort across a year span.

Here’s a few found by my man, Old Man Yager. He got a new phone so I’m posting up for him.
Forgot to tell you Tim, that bottom picture you posted for me, I have the other side in my garage. I picked it up last year, this one was on the same trail, but covered in grass. another thing, I had you and John down where I found it last year, and we all 3 probably walked right by it.
-
3 days and 28 miles to find this matching Rosie set.
-
Nice little matching set from N Idaho
-
Last years
That's a cool looking bull! He'll be ready for harvest in the next year or two! I hope you get em!

Wow that’s crazy! Doesn’t surprise me though. I often wonder how many I’m walking right past?! Nice find for sure.

Thanks for posting these for me TBob !!
-
Just went to check a couple cams and i keep tripping over these damn things
-
Good problem to have. Looks like a good one in there
-
And a whitetail now
-
Tripped over another paddle on my way back to the truck. Total haul today 4 paddles 1 whitetail, wasnt even shed hunting, go figure.
-
Nice work
-
One matched set? Nice!!
-
One matched set? Nice!!
Almost certain the ones left snd right in pic is a match. Theyre a little different, but bases are the same and they were maybe 30 yards apart. The one on right if pic has a big dent in it, like it was damaged in velvet, which could account for the minor differences. The one on top with the big ridge running up it is weird. Weighs as much as the matched set together. Its super thick, like the bull tried to grow two paddles on one base and they fused together like siamese twins. The base is huge too. Try to wrap my hand around it and cant even get my fingers anywhere near touching. Ill probably look for the match to the heavy one when i go bear hunting this year.
-
Bango, that is one heck of a day!! You are likely right, had you been shed hunting it would have been much tougher! Lol. Take em where you can get em!
-
Would you be interested and helping me check my cams? :chuckle: :chuckle: Nice haul!
-
Not a shed but a good find. Just as I found it, with the rest of the bones near by
-
Winds way too wild to call today, but did find 3 crappy old paddles on my way back to the truck
-
This is kind of a shed, in a sense.

Mounted my best set from 2020. Far from my best but a sweet bench buck. Sometimes it’s hard to tell how big something really is until you mount them.

(Not on an EXO pack) but I took a good tumble in the dark one night walking out, pistol was where yours is on the hip strap. Got to the rig and loaded pack and bow and headed home. Next morning I was searching the truck/house for my pistol. Had to haul butt back up (35 miles) there and retrieve it. It had double Velcro straps threw the holster but it still came off when I tumbled.

Quite the birthday present. Is this a 2020 find or a 2021? It's in the 2020 shed thread. There is a 2021 thread stickied at the top of the shed hunting board.
