Title: Elk Sheds
Post by: Branden on July 15, 2009, 08:09:51 PM: I don't really shed hunt but I did go out with my buddy once this year and we found a few. A couple decent ones but nothing huge. Sorry bout the pic its off my phone. Didn't have my camera that day.

Start hating. :P I will say I think we walked less then 2 hours the day we found those five. He went back to the area that we found the far right shed in and found the match to it.
