Title: A fresh BT shed
Post by: bow4elk on January 23, 2010, 04:25:02 PM: sorry, it's only a spike but a true needle in the haystack! Just looked down during a hike today and saw it. I have this buck on a trailcam photo but I'll have to dig for it. I only saw one spike in the area and this appears to be the same one.

I hear ya there. I've found a few mulie spikes and probably a dozen elk (including 4 Roosevelt spikes in one day while turkey hunting) but this is my first ever blacktail spike.

:chuckle: I always wear nitrile gloves when handling my trailcams. Too many bear issues :bash: Plus, I beat brush a lot when I'm shed hunting/scouting so I like to protect my hands a bit.
