2021 shed thread

[Roamer]

Found a few last weekend

I went out to scout a new hunting spot on 5/1 (CO shed opener) and got into a few. I don't generally shed hunt, but it was exciting! Ran into a couple other guys who did really well. The pic doesn't show it well, but the spike shed is actually 3 prong at the top and 2 brow tines. Haven't seen one like that before. Hoping I come across the one that dropped that 6 point in October! This is an OTC unit as well.

Today might be my last go unless we get some cooler weather. Darn good day for a crummy general season area. I think I have a trail cam picture of the split beam bull from 2019

Don’t go shed hunting n haven’t been in this area in a coons age but for anyone out there, used to hunt by the Glade in Colorado, we used to consistently find quality elk sheds in Rabbit Creek just down from Glade Mtn in the 1st n 2nd rifle season

That's awesome I love to see a nice dog at work!

That’s cheating!

A few from Colorado. Deer base is bigger than the elks.

The dog and I are done looking for this year. Pretty good for my areas. Prices were silly, made me wish I didn’t sell a big pile in January

Considering the first half dozen or more hikes were kind of a joke, we came out all right.

What are the prices at right now if you don't mind me asking? and is that at the big sales like Jackson, or just about any buyer?

A few antlers on this trip. I think we packed out 19 in 2 days. Left a bunch.

This one was sitting like this when I found it. I think a bear may have tipped it up last year and chewed on it a little or something.


A whole lota suck about to start. Those 4 averaged about 20lbs a piece.

18/lb brown elk, 15/lb brown deer. I got 13 and 12 from same buyer in January. I was talking to a much, much shadier antler buyer a week ago and he said no one is doing 18/lb that’s just BS. I kinda smiled and agreed

One left behind for the archery guys by the spring crowd.

 

[Chad Gus]

25 miles of hiking the SD prairie for antelope, nice consolation prize.

 

[TheTone]

Just some of the consultation prizes I found while not filling my elk tag

 

[Hunt&FishCO]

My archery consolation prizes.

 

[shumhow]

Found this one last weekend (Michigan) while deer hunting. Just a couple small chew marks, surprising for how long it has probably been there.

 

[Elkdog]

My consolation cow prizes. I had my choice of bulls but couldn’t find a cow. The bottom 2 are a pair, really long tined fork on one side and 4pt on the other with a cool eagle claw on 1 tine.
