Title: Found my first deer shed!
Post by: PathfinderJR on March 21, 2010, 08:54:06 AM: Last weekend dad and I went shed hunting up at our elk camp. Dad found an area that he thought would be good for whitetail sheds. We were walking for about 30 minutes when I spotted a shed that Dad had walked right past! It was half buried in the pine needles, but I saw it! :IBCOOL:
About 20 minutes later I spotted something white in the brush. I yelled for dad and told him "I think I found something". I found the skeleton of a whitetail spike buck. Dad says it was probably killed by a cougar. We didn't take the skull with us, but we took some pictures.
I can't wait for the next trip! :llam:

I kept fussing at him for staring at his feet while we were hunting. Late that afternoon I was stopped glassing a canyon and he yelled, "DAD, LOOK!!" It was a 6 point elk shed. If it had been a snake, it would have bitten me... :chuckle:
