Two years ago I was holding onto a cow elk tag here in my home state of CO. Out searching, I stumbled onto two bulls, a very nice 6x7 and this feller here.. couldn’t tell how many points he was aside from the club and two tines on the left side of his head and the other side consisting of busted tines throughout the main beam. Watching these bulls for a little under an hour made the failure at locating any cows a bit more bearable. I hiked back to camp that day feeling full of gratitude for the experience I just had, staving off the thoughts of having to pack up and head home the next day.
Fast forward to the middle of the following May, my wife, pup, and I are heading back to this area to camp for the weekend. After getting settled in I take the pup out for a walk and to glass some ridges and hillsides. As we crest the ridge opposite of our camp I see this odd looking burnt branch in the middle of a grass and sage laden hillside. As I was contemplating how strange it was to find a branch here since there wasn’t a tree within 200yds, I noticed my dogs energy start to shift from a leisurely walk to an excited anticipation. I think I remember hearing myself say “oh no shit” as I squinted to get a better view. My pup and I ran up to the shed and I may have belted out a shout in excitement as I realized I had found the coolest shed of my life to this date made all the more special by having watched it’s owner on a snow hillside just months before.
How about y’all, got any sweet shed find stories?
