Post by: 509er on June 07, 2010, 04:42:07 PM: here is one I found this year. Good thing it was not a rattlesnake, or I would have had to rush stickslinger to the E.R. He almost stepped on it as he walked past it. :chuckle: thanks buddy for letting me find one. ;)

Post by: bow4elk on June 09, 2010, 12:43:47 PM: Not too difficult though I'd walked over that second antler Lord knows how many times over the past couple years.

Post by: fishermanjoe on June 09, 2010, 01:28:58 PM: I wish i would of taken a pic of this one shed i found, it would be perfect for this topic. I was standing under some pines with a tick pine needle covering on the ground. I was waiting for my buddy to come over and happened to look down. I saw a funny looking stick poking out about two inches, so decided to check it out. One good tug on it and i pulled out a 4 pt elk shed right out of the ground. My buddy couldn't believe it.

"where did you find that one"

"In that hole right there"

Right on the nose! That didn't take long. ;)

Bottom pic...near the right base of that tree I think I see 2 tines pointing up...and an extremely large 7pt elk shed near the top left that you must have missed :chuckle:?
