i ain't quite done yet...
it was last year's 'model', but i keep'em all...
remember the 'odd-ball' 3? here is this year's and last year's together...they grew 'sideways' out of his head...
this year's is on the right side..
one of my favorites from this year...unfortunately, no match...
a few more good singles from this season...
a few smaller 'sets' from this year...
a few 'nicer' ones...though, i gotta admit...i cherish all of them...big or small, as i know many of you do with your 'finds'...
O.K....major story here with these...i saw this bull 'still packin', way late in the 'season'...i watched him go over a hill out of the sagebrush, into a small patch of timber. i 'went around' to the other side of the timber, and set up my scope. took me nearly an hour to get there. i had seen no other bulls that day. as i was 'watching' the timber for movement, i saw a bull emerge from the timber, and go over the hill. i could see he was 'bald', but could not get my scope on him fast enough to see if he was 'bloody'...i waited bout 45 minutes, and saw no other movement...i figured it had to be him...i was pretty 'done in', and it was a 'hike' back to the rig. i called my son and told him what happened. i 'noted' the spot where i last saw the bull. next to a big log. my boy said, "why didn't i go in after he left, and look around"? i said i would do so, tomorrow...he couldn't wait. he hiked up to 'the log' that evening, and it was nearly dark when he got there. he found one of the 'white' ones in the below pic...it was dark, so he hiked out, with just the one...
next morning, i go back...'right off the bat', i find the other side to his previous 'find'...i'm gettin' excited, but don't even know why...i go over a little 'hump', bout' 100 yards further, and 'bingo'...there they are. both sides from the bull i watched the day before. at this point, 'i'm stoked'...2 nice sets. i left to go home and show my boy...
we start 'lookin', and by golly....it was the same bull from both years. he went back to very nearly the same spot, and shed'em again...guess you know where i might be 'next spring'...he lost the nice 'curl' on his 1's and 2's, but still, a good one...
this is a nice one my son watched a year ago...he stayed with him for a week, but he disappeared. he 'stumbled' upon them this year, bout' 2 miles away from where the bull was last year. it's like he decided to 'go away' to shed...
these are a coupla other 'sets' he found this year..
a nice even set, but missing his '2's'...
just some more nice 'singles'....
'sets'..
this was 2 years' worth of 'sheddin'...
i did these, in memory of an 'old friend'...
i wanted to 'add', one more thing...as i took some 'flak' last year as to my 'sheddin' areas, i kept track this year...over 90% of my shed hunting spots are on public land, or private land open to the public, timber companies...i have never made it a secret as to where i shed hunt...people that ask we where, get an 'up front', and truthful answer. yes, it does make for a little more 'competition'...big deal.
you guys and gals 'take care'...have a safe hunting season, and i hope all of you 'had' or 'will have' good luck in the 'draws'...
