2014 Shed's post them here!!
-
I think you're going to have to wait till they're all(antlers) off the ground before anyone wants to share photos...... You all know that antlers on deer and elk don't fall till, oh lets say, Mayish...... :chuckle: ;)
-
Found a deer shed at the end do December 2012, fresh blood on the base.
-
Friend of mine found a nice BT shed last weekend.
-
big boys are falling hahaha atleast its a fresh shed!!!
-
Found this on Jan 5th... I picked up the other side on Dec 20th. First set for me.
-
That's a great paddle Joe. :tup:
-
I found a bt antler late December in the Shelton area
-
Here is one I found this past weekend.
I had pictures of him before and after shedding, I still have to find the other side.
-
Some nice early sheds! I'm hoping to get out in the next few weeks and contribute to this thread
-
dont know if these count being white but they are my first ones of 2014!
im not sure what you guys think but i was wondering if the top one might be a whitetail? or a cross in the area where i found them is mule deer country but last spring i did see a couple white tail does with the mulies? what are the chances of them crossing?
-
Looks like a whitetail. The shed on the left in the second pic looks like a mulie.
-
Found one I missed. I had two of his lefts already, finely found one of his rights.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/19/zupazuvy.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/19/7enazytu.jpg) just found this today, first day out this year and took a whole 30 min to find! Got really lucky, 3 point blacktail.

Nice find I can't wait kids are gonna try and find elk sheds this year.first time for us.
-
Nice shed!!! :tup:
-
I hope to find the other side, I feel pretty damn lucky. Finding blacktail sheds in western wa has to be the hardest sheds to find!
-
Jeff one of our guides found a good one. We've been watching this buck for a while.
-
Good start trophy! Reprod, clearcut, timber, elevation? Fresh BT sheds are the sheet!

thanks, I found it in an open area, lots of ferns and sticker bushes. Elevation was around750',I love finding bt sheds, in our thick environment it quite the challenge.
-
Finally got out to look for some horns today. Found a couple. Two of them are quite old. Came across a buck kill. Looked like the young buck would have been a bruiser in a few years
-
bummer on the kill, i would have put him on the wall probably as he was already. Me and the ol' lady are gonna do some shed huntin this next week! Deer antlers are startin' to pop it looks like :tup:
-
Nice shed Oren!
-
Nice one Oren! Hope the show is going good for you!
-
oh man, that dead head must be from the elusive "idaho blacktail" subspecies

I'm sure that 3pt is a mulie, mulies that don't fork on their G3 kind of look like whitetails, but look at his eyeguard.
-
Found a fresh blacktail shed today.
-
a couple mule deer i found this year
-
Why does that bottom ones base look so bleached?
-
Found this one today
-
Nice paddle :tup: those are fun to find.

Hi, I don't usually hunt sheds but during the upland bird season if we find them, we collect them.
This has led to some fine and unusual finds. This past season when hunting the hills of Dayton, my brother found a huge mule deer carcass. The antlers were/are still attached to the scull, there is tissue and hair on the scull. He brought it back, is there any legal ramifications, what or where do you find the rules? It appears to be a five by five, or ten point for those of us raised back east.
-
Ya man its illegal to keep deadheads in the state of Washington for some stupid reason, Your going to get a lot of crap for posting that he brought it home from the internet cops on here. But ya it is illegal.
-
Hey Shedkid, :tup: on the spike, always the hardest to find.

Tiny tiny town called dayton in idaho right?! :tup:

We go from the biggest of all sheds to this...
Anybody can find the big bones, but it takes real talent to spot the tiny tine! 2" blacktail shed, the smallest I've ever found.

At least up in okanogan valley white tails loose their bone starting late December. It's been this way fr ever! Earliest I found bone was Christmas. My biggest sheds where are always found late January to early feb.
Didn't look yet this year but I have a feeling it's going to suck do to lack of snow so deer didn't really move to their winter ranges. More miles required fr sure!
-
Looks like I need to get out now that my sunday afternoons are free. :tup: :tup: Go hawks
How do we make this thread sticky?

Pour syrup on it

Found a small fresh set the other day who can spot both of them

Got a quick glimps of him early muzzy season, but had my recurve in my hand :rolleyes:. Pick don't realy do it justice(phone) but thats a magazine sized Filson catalog came in the mail today. Pretty good mass for a blackie.

Sweet set :tup: I have a shed from this year that looks just like the left side. Nice job on the matched set. I have one side from another nice buck and he is still packing his other side(4 days now). I have found sets side by side but you never know :dunno: How did you find that set, same day, side by side?

Thanks! Found them the same day about 200yrds apart. Sucks when they hang on to them like you're experiencing, can make it tough to get the other side at times.
-
Some GREAT finds!
-
Found a nice 6 pt. Rosie shed today. I think it's from last year, looks like it's been laying here for a while, but I don't care, still a nice find.
-
Sweet find. Congrats.
-
Not a good year for bone. :(
-
Talked to a fella today that is in the woods every day, he said he's had a few bulls he has been watching. He said one of them still had both sides on Tuesday, and then he saw it again on Thursday, and it only had 1 side left. sounds like the elk are starting to drop.
-
They were still packing on the east side this weekend where I was at.
-
I manage to find 1 this year!!! I have saved $1000's on gas this year not shed hunting.

First she'd of the year. 2 point blacktail with about a 3/4 inch eye guard. Looks a bit bigger in person. Let's just say for the past couple years I've walked by his shed so many times within 30 feet and can't even count how many. Got within 5 feet or so probably 3 times and didn't even know it. THey can blend in well.
-
I must have walked past this set 5 times last year but found em Friday.

Nice sheds.

Couple from last weekend. Found the same bulls left side two years in a row right in the same area. Last year and this year; searched for hours trying to match him up and never could. Neighbor also found a decent 6 laying in the ditch next to the rd, and my shorthair found an old white spiker also. Great weekend. :tup:

ahh I wish they were all from a weekend. Didn't find them all in 2 days, but I've been on little bit of roll this month. Think I've found a shed of some sort the past 12 times I've been. Kinda makes up for all the empty handed death marches I've had in the past. Ya,that black tail shed is something else. Wish I would of stumbled across it 7 yrs ago before the chimpmunks and the rotten antler smell got to er. Kinda reminds me of a girl I used to date!

Found this one today
-
Leg day
-
I found my first elk shed of the year yesterday as I'm checking it out a bear climbs up out of the ground 20 yards away, what a rush, as I'm fumbling around trying to get my camera out of the pack it wanders off, then it malfunctions and I don't even get a picture of it, I got some great ones of the den but the site goes white when I try to load. :(
-
Whats up with the blank page
-
I'm getting a blank also it's been happening for several days?
-
Hello?
-
The one we found yesterday. Found 3 blacktail sheds this year but were all previous drops. Still nice to find though.
-
Not to bad of a day.

What happened to page 5, posts in between 99-125?

:yeah: I had been wondering the same thing.

Maybe that page was "shed" :chuckle:

Dead head and a couple of the nicer ones from this year

Nice Idaho bull. :tup: Hopefully died of old age
-
Thanks and he was a reservation bull, off of our game reserve. Guessing a lion got him but couldnt tell with how much was left of him. Buddy caught a real big tom lion not too far form there so thats why its my guess. Could of been of old age too, had some worn down molars and ivory. I scored him at 332 and actually was the first time measuring a elk, then I got him scored by an official scorer and he came up with 332 so I guess I might have known what I was doing haha
-
Looks really different how those tips point in towards each other
-
That bull looks rad. Nice finds
-
A couple trips around the ranch with my fiancé and father inlaw. Not a bad Easter hunt.

Went out to hang the cams and get to know the unit for my elk hunt this fall. Found me a genuine honey hole along the way. A place where there are rubs, indicating their presence late summer, saw a bull and a few cows there now, and found this shed antler, from a few weeks ago. Seems like a year round elk factory!

First time Dad and I tried our hand at shed hunting this spring was a success! He saw the antler base glinting in the sun and eventually both dogs hit on it. We’ve been back twice since but couldn’t find the match.
I’ve been working with the young chocolate, Ruger, and he’s been training up real well ever since. Looking forward to seeing him work next spring.
-
Haven't had much time to go up in the woods lately due to rushing to get projects done around the house before the rain hits, but I took a few hours yesterday morning and went up anyways. I'm sure glad I did! Found this and some new ground for this upcoming season!
-
Colville horns
-
found a few on my elk camping trip above Kittitas.
My brother found the muley antler on the right in the image in the spot we camped, I found the left 500 yds away.
The rest, i basically found next to logs i had to stop and take a break on and glass the ravines.

The 3 pt scored 182 and they look really funky on that deer cause the main beams are so long before he forks. I found them in the Columbia basin down low. I wish I wouldn't of sold them now.

Yeah I bet! That's a dandy! Hopefully you got some decent coin outta them. Nice find tho regardless!
