I found the set below around Easter; one on Easter and the other some two weeks later. The first one (the one without a broken tine) I found in an area where I knew a couple of big elk hang out in and few people check - even though you can almost see the area from town. Now to find the match - holy! Being an unwise human, I followed the trails in the snow. I saw lots of sign that way; but no horns. I hiked the area at least another 5 times. Finally, I had a brainstorm and just hiked further down the ridgeline. Not a quarter mile down the ridge (of course I approached it from the other direction and found the white 7 point set that I posted the other day), the match was just laying there waiting. Next time, I'll ignore fresh tracks in the snow.
