Just to liven things up a little

Ungulate · Jul 23, 2008

Since this place is getting pretty dead. I a doing a post prior to going shed hunting this weekend. I remember seeing a bull on a ridge one winter (close to 300")actually two winters ago. I plan on going on the opposite side of the ridge and looking across with a spotting scope to see if I can find some white tine tomorrow. If I am successful I will make a trek to the other ridge on the following day for a retrieval. If I am unable to spot anything at all then I will spend my weekend hunting mule deer sheds. Wish me luck and expect updates. I will post pictures whether I find bone or not.

OK so here is the update or follow up from my original post. I am tired and beat. It was a hot freaking day. Anyhow I got to my spot at about 9:00 and hiked for an hour to my prime shed hunting area. As soon as I arrived I immediatly began my climb up a steep shale face. Not more than fifteen minutes into the climb I find this....

As I am walking over to pick that shed up I also notice this...

As I approach more closely I am dissapointed to discover that it is only a chalker. Here is a closer picture.

Anyhow the other shed still hasnt run away with someone else so upon approach I discover that it is a fresh antler from this winter.

Anyhow I spent another 2 hrs looking for more sheds but came up empty handed. Anyhow I hope this livens things up a little.
