First Year Shed Hunting

waspocrew · Post by **waspocrew** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 1:54 pm

I hadn't ever tried shed hunting out until this year and I had a blast hiking around. I still would like to check a few other places out, but my main go-to spot is a lot more overgrown and green which has made it a lot more challenging to spot sheds. I'm definitely hooked now!

Impressive 1st year for sure IMO.

Very nice... you figure you have any matching sets there?

Thanks! I happened to find one match set this year... I should have put them together in the first picture. They are the two hard white 4 points in the middle row. This is how they looked when I came across them:

A friend of mine found a big bladed 4 point early in February and I'm pretty sure I found the match a few weeks later in the same canyon once the snow melted off a bit more.

They looked very similar when put together ( a lot better than the pic shows). They both have great mass, same color and some cool blades. Would you say they are a match? I'll try to get a better pic for you.

Hey, looks good to me. Are you staying local up there in Cache Valley?

Yep, I've just stuck with Cache Valley... I wanted to stay close so I could try to sneak up after school once a week or so for a bit. I was surprised to see so many good bucks this winter. Seems like they certainly know how to vanish in the fall though... I'm hoping I can run into one of them later this year!

They sure look like a match to me.
Nice ones too.

Yeah, no kidding they can just disappear!

First year? Wow, congrats and hopefully many more years of hiking around to find them
