Title: Re: how many sheds?
Post by: Devinshoe on May 18, 2011, 11:45:50 AM: Heres this years. The moose paddle hanging on the wall are not from this year. The ones on the grass are my best from this year. And the giant three point whitetail is this years favorite.
Title: Re: how many sheds?
Post by: deermeat on May 18, 2011, 02:48:26 PM: Sweet haul Devinshoe. Sorry I can't add. I meant 108. Found 2 more elk sheds yesterday so I'm at 110 now.
Title: Re: how many sheds?
Post by: Maverick on May 18, 2011, 03:05:14 PM: be honest. Do you guys find all your sheds on public or private land? All of mine were from public land.
Title: Re: how many sheds?
Post by: Devinshoe on May 18, 2011, 08:41:03 PM: All of mine came from private land this year except for one.

They are nice paddles... especially for this state. The water is still far too swift to go pick them up as of last week... I'm headed back to that area this week though so here's hoping.. but not too hard, seeing as all the other rivers are still rocking pretty hard.

Title: Re: how many sheds?
Post by: Arteman on August 01, 2011, 05:46:52 PM: 32 rosie's 4 sets, 0 deer. Can't find a blacktail shed if my life depended on it.
Title: Re: how many sheds?
Post by: Arteman on August 01, 2011, 05:57:44 PM: Alan K, finding 85 blacktail sheds impresses me more than any of this! I have to ask, does your lab help out? I just got a yellow lab and the only thing I let her chew on is antler and am constantly playing fetch with it. She's about 4 months old and I hope she helps me next year with deer. Elk is no problem since I live right next to the Loowit valley.

Its called working for the Forest Service and having manditory furlough during the winter months. :chuckle:

Even then, I can't get too mad at folks in the natural resource field who shed hunt and job hunt in the winter months... landing a permanant position is very difficult these days! Its hard to make those general broadcast "guys who live off the government" comments when there are so many variables... construction workers don't really have much work in the winter either. I'd be careful if I were you with this kind of comment... there are a lot of displaced workers that time of the year that draw unemployment and shed hunt. It doesn't mean they aren't looking for work, too. :twocents:
Title: Re: how many sheds?
Post by: Arteman on August 02, 2011, 11:25:33 AM: I don't think having or not having a job is a major factor. Between my two buddys and I we picked up over a hundred Elk sheds this year in our area. It's more of how bad you want them. We all have full time jobs and id drive 40 minutes one way as many times as I could between two girls playing ball, practices, and games to have a chance at picking one antler up. I was going strong and still finding one Everytime out tell I got ill from a hital hernia. I had to stop at 32, but my buddy kept at it and found over 60 elk sheds. Also took my 7 year old daughter and she found her first, I was the proudest daddy in the would that day, she was pretty proud too.
