Deer Shed Elevation

Although I've found some in Montana at 7000 ft, the highest in WA is around 2500 for me.

Found an elk shed just off the top of timberwolf.  That was surprising as well.  Not sure how high that is.

I've picked up big whiteys before Christmas, and seen big muleys in April still packing.  All depends on the area, weather, year, and genetics.

found the strangest mulie shed once.  The attached part was in the middle and antler went forward, maybe backward with 2 12 and 18 inch tines going up and a 5 inch fork going one way and a squared off tine uinder it.  There were 2 more 2 inch points going off to the side.   Must have been a regressor.  Found it at 1500ft.
