First browns of '22 for me.

Sheds were laying about 80 yards apart.

Fisher with his 1st solo set. He found both sides on his own, along with 1 brown elk, and 2 white deer sheds. Me....nothing!

Anyone can find a 350 shed-now 1 inch that takes some skill!

Was buzzing the desert and spotted something. No binoculars, so the wife said walk out and look. I began walking and quickly realized what I saw was nothing, but I figured I might as well walk another 100 feet and….COOL!! There was this elk antler. Cool score.
I should’ve just left it as a sweet lucky score, but instead went back today looking for more. 4 hours and 6+ miles and found nothing.
Put in the work after the fact. Pretty typical.

I haven’t had the best of luck this year on the bigger elk horns, so the best I can do is a set from last year!

elkboy32 · Apr 8, 2022

Not a ton of sheds yet. Seems like most bulls are still packing around here. I did score this sweet set last week. The G3 on the driver side is 19"

pushin_30 · Apr 8, 2022

No luck turning up any fresh ones yet! But at least the little ones are having a good time!

My son Ethan's biggest shed to date! And a quick shot of our best day we've ever had! He's still talking about it. His boots blew up but he kept at it and we had a haul/ball!

1 inch ??
If you measure like that your wife loves you
nice find though I like finding those smalls just as much as the big ens

JakeH · Apr 15, 2022

Found another awesome set, was able to match it up today after finding the first side last week.

The funny thing is I didn't even realize how big the first horn was until I got it home and put a tape on it. He doesn't have the mass that the rest of my bigger sheds do, but he does have some good length, beams are 52+ and the 10" extra helps a bunch too.

Bull tapes out at 355. Is a 7x7 and is One of my biggest sets ever.

Today's pack load

My goofball kids with the set.

5 yards apart. Tough to find a set like this in my area in the last several years.

Wyboypt · Apr 23, 2022

Both 340 bulls. Pretty sure mine is fairly narrow though. My buddies woulda looked bigger on the hoof.

Yeah “fun” is one way to put it?. 210 lbs of horn. Personal best for me. The first time I’ve had 120+ lbs on my back. Chuy has packed that plenty of times. He’s a beast!

My 10 year olds 1st brown elk shed. He was beyond excited about the find and couldn’t stop talking and stuttering. He was losing a little motivation after several miles, but after that find he was good to go the 4 more miles. He did find two more sheds the rest of the hike. It was a fun day.

Hike4Elk · May 23, 2022

Lucky to find 3 solid browns last week on a last effort Hail Mary hike… always find em after you have given up for the year ?
