BC shed hunting
Re: BC shed hunting
That chuck is HUGE!! You've made quite the haul this year!
Re: BC shed hunting
2013 shedding is now in full swing around Beautiful British Columbia. Guys are pounding the bush but lots of reports of the odd buck still packing,. It makes it a challenge to rework areas hoping to find a late dropper. Here are a few pics from my last few hikes.
You guys down south don't see to many brown ones from what I see online.

Such great color on your sheds up North. I love it! A lot of the deer in my area have really light antlers. They are almost white when they hit the ground other than a little color at the base. Keep it up.

Been out a couple of times and yea I can't find any FRESH browns. I also like the color of the dark antlers.

Re: BC shed hunting
Wapitistalker, the title says BC... So I'm guessing that means British Columbia.
Re: BC shed hunting
Thanks Wapiti, lots of hiking is the key. I am lucky that my town, Kamloops, BC, is right in the middle of some incredibile deer country. mulies and whities. I can head 15 min any direction out of town and be in good looking areas. The whitie sheds are harder to find than the bucks are! I did ok so far this year with three sets but the big set still eludes me.wapitistalker wrote:WOW furburger.. thats incredible what u been finding.. u either hike a hella lot or ur hiking in some pristine virgin shed hunting grounds where nobody else goes ha.. i wonder what state ur in? excellent shed finds man i hope u find more and keep posting em up
My buddy found a nice set he figures is over 200 so they are out there. He will do 30 k hikes (20+ miles) in a day so you have to put the miles in. The ticks are out like crazy now so that can sap your enthusiasm to get into the thick bush. Here are a few more shots.

Looks like you are having a better season than me. I've burned a ton of boot leather with very very little to show for it.
