sureshot Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 todya me and the 2 girls went for a hike lookign for sheds in the big bush areas were a few elk hide out, I have only found 2 small elk sheds in the past years but always wanted a big set, anyways today after abotu 3 hours, lots of tired remarks, a few bathroom breaksI hollered to the girls ot walk strait ahead and they heard me runnign through the hawthorns and underbrush, my oldest was scared was sure I seen a couger lol, what I seen was a huge set of elk sheds,I had to run fast couse I was sure they were going to take off ,when they got there there eyes were as big as mine and I just sat down shakign so bad,I told them not to touch so i could get a pic but took a while for me to settle down enough to get the camera out,I took a bunch of pics but still cannot find the disk for my digital so no pics till i get them developed,but to give a idea of how big, I rough scored them at over 340 with a 40 inch spread and I am thinkign closer to 45 would be right, I figure they are close if not more than 50 pounds and I carried them the 3 miles to the car and I am feelign it now, but it was the most rewardign walk I have ever made lol, I stopped to show a buddy and the rancher and have had 4 peopel stop by to see them so far lol, I will get pics as soon as I can get them developed, hopefully tomorrow!!

Guest upAcreek Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Re: dreams do come true!!!!!! Great going! One of these years I will go somewhere and hunt for elk sheds and I am sure if I ever do I will also be excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershed Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Re: dreams do come true!!!!!! That's AWESOME,Congrats!! I can relate to running the sheds down.In my case when I found my first true elk shed there was no running needed.It was only about 15yds. away. I can honestly say you could hear me yell for miles though.I never got so excited over finding a shed as I did when I found that shed.Well,til I found it's mate a half hour later. I have roughly a 4hr. drive to my elk shedding grounds.It's a wonder I didn't burn the dome light out on the trip home making sure they were still on the seat next to me.
