ATL's

BBB · Mar 25, 2008

When I moved to Oregon from the intermountain region, I thought my days shed hunting would be more limited due to the brush, rodents, moisture, and sasquatch. I've been pleasantly surprised with some success in the past few weeks. Here are a few of the antlers I found while packing a camera. Thanks to all those that share pictures of their antlers. I love to see them and hope some of you can appeciate some of these ATL (As They Lay) pictures. Good luck in the field:

Here are my kids, Hunter and Corrine with our first brownie of the year. They still tease me about my celebratory dance.

I found two sets (this year and last year's)from this particular buck.

A decent afternoon.

A double!!!

Eureka in the thick timber!!

5 minutes later, 40 yards downhill..alas, the other side!

Red, White, and Black!!!

6-point's scabrock nest

Probably one of the neatest drop spots I've ever witnessed. The antler is actually one-year old and balanced with it's fifth and sixth point buried into the moss. If it tipped it would have fallen into the churning abyss below.

My biggest blacktail shed...Haven't found the other side, yet.

Sunny, warm spot in the thick firs

Blacktail in the oaks

Excellent ATLs Thanks ! That cliff hanger is a way cool find and a great picture too!
We have found a few here in NW Wyoming this spring but the weather is in direct opposition with getting out and enjoying it. SNOW and MORE SNOW

Time in the hills is always worth more than money

That is awesome, Pretty cool to have Blacktail, Elk, and Whitetail all in the same area. Are those Columbian Whitetails?

Wow, nice work on the waterfall find. Looks like you've made the best of your new location. Thanks for sharing them.

Congrats!!! You are cleaning house. Consider yourself truly blessed that you have found a spot in Oregon where no one else has made it to. I've worked in the woods for the last 9 years and I've only found a handful of elk sheds in that entire time. I think you have me beat already! That is totally cool!

Were you able to match up that big 7 point yet? Can we get a better picture of it? I love dark Roosevelts!

Thanks for the comments. I haven't matched up the 7 point although I've tried. Youn can step on it and still not see it in some of this country. I will send a better pic of the 7 point when I get the pics uploaded.
