I'm headed up right now to find the match to the shed I found yesterday if I can match it up I'll post pics. Should be a 350 set, the shed I found yesterday weighs 17 lbs and where it splits off to its g5 is 12 inches around!

Title: Re: elk sheds?
Post by: hunterofelk on April 01, 2012, 12:13:00 PM: I took a couple days off and walked around in the rain. Found one spike, maybe the other side of kglacken's, saw a few younger bulls
with both sides still attached and got some great exercise. Will post a pic if I am lucky enough to both go again and find antlers.

Title: Re: elk sheds?
Post by: Arteman on April 01, 2012, 04:16:11 PM: Also its been tough finding them in the areas I go, lots of shed hunters this year, been out just about everyday since mid march and what I've posted is all I've found. Seen lots of bulls dropped, a bunch with just one side, and Saturday I seen one with new antler growth already. Look forward to any of your guys antler pics, hope to see some posted. :tup:

Went snowmobiling up there two weekends ago up and stayed up in Cougar, we saw about 4 branched bulls along with at least 200 other elk on the road to cougar. On a side note, it was my first time us on the mountain and if any of you guys snowmobile you have to go up there. It's incredible.
