2011 Shed season "so far'

Post up pics of your sheds from this season, or previous seasons if you have them. I dont know how many of us on here shed hunt but hell I'll give it a shot, here are my sheds so far this season. All my trips together i've got about 36 miles invested in these antlers

Here's my Total as far as last friday



Here is a monster 3 point blacktail I found yesterday, Picture doesnt do him justice he is MASSIVE. "14 miles to find him"



Not a bad start to the season, Elk getting ready to drop as we speak!!

 

thats alot of meat! what do you do with it all?

 

cool finds man! I don't really have time to go out and look for antlers and there aren't really any down here anyways, but I do find some up at our cabin near Big Pine. Especially when we're quail hunting

 

Im not killing the deer, every year beginning in January Bucks drop their antlers due to low testosterone levels. Then they gain they energy and hormones back when the spring comes and grow bigger antlers. Im just finding the antlers that drop "shed"

 

LOL my bad

not with it today haha

 

Lol dont worry about it, You were probably getting ready to call the Game Wardens on me

 

nah was gonna ask if youd sell some meat lol!!!

back in VT wed get deer year round. they were a nuisance on my uncles 2600acres.

 

I bet that was a fun time

 

I went in the Cascades on Sunday and only found a chewed-down nub....lot's of sign around. You have done well.

 

Thanks man, is hard to find deer sheds around here!

 

We went up to our cabin last weekend for a work weekend and saw a herd of elk minus the antlers so we will go search for some when we go back up in a couple weeks.

 

That's awesome man! God all the elk around here are still packin! Oh its driving me crazy

 

what do you do with the antlers you find? save em and hang them? thats cool!

 

I didnt even go out this year. Last year iwalked the woodsfor hours but never fond any. My 7 year old cousin found half a set outin the middle of a grass field. It was bigger than anything ive ever killed or probaby ever seen lol. But never got a shot at him.

 

I throw them all in a pile, deer in one pile and elk in another.

 

Got some elk sheds on sunday posted the story on hunting and fishing, but figured this is my thread so i'd share here to

 

Good finds man! How long did that take you? Just a day? I did end up looking when I was up by my cabin but all I found was one small one, and a couple of spines. Went down to where I had seen the Elk too, but I didn't see much of anything

 

It actually took in the neighborhood of 9 to 10 hours, counting the 3 hours of walking in the dark, I almost never find sheds where I have seen the animal mostly in the case of deer. I hiked 18.3 miles for all of those and it was rough steep rockycountry.

 

Had another great week of shed hunting. These will probably be my last sheds of the season. Im getting the fishing bug

 

You effin rock.
Anytime you want company.....
