Went elk hunting but only found sheds

Post by sactribe » Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:04 pm

I went elk hunting last weekend and got into some good remote country. No elk sightings that day but I did find 5 sheds. three of them were mostly buried with a few white points sticking up. They still jumped out at me like they were glowing hunter orange. I got my first elk the following day. I will post that on the elk hunting forum...

You are the man! What's your total count for the year now? I stopped looking for sheds months ago... I guess I shouldn't give up so fast!

Waspocrew, I think I am up to 118 sheds on the year but I haven't finished adding up my last few trips. I have been keeping a log of each trip with the date, area, miles hiked and what I found. I have 4 main areas that I go to and I know there are still lots of sheds laying around out there. I rarely see other other people in my two best spots until hunting season.

That sounds like you've figured out some great spots that keep producing! You definitely work hard for your shed collection!
