Good luck, thats a fun time looking for shed up there and well worth the drive. just shooting yotes up there is well worth the drive.

I'd love to get back up there in the next month or so.

I saw dudes on Instagram loaded a truck full of them. But that was a month ago or more

Just got back from the shed hunt. Only had a day and a half due to weather. Very sad drive off the plateau from the AZGFD check station down to winter range. All is burned. Oak corral is gone !  Almost down to the forest service cabins on the 22 rd. After 30 years of shed hunting the Bab, I finally found matching browns. 15 ft apart. Enjoyed some great Elk sirloins  for dinner with my Good buddy George.

Cool pics. glad you were able to make it up.

that was the only sheds you found? did you try west of indian hollow in the sage and juniers?

 

Years back on the road that comes from ferdonia going to big springs just as you pass the cattle guard theres a little bowl off the west side of the road. we used to find half dozen small sheds there every trip mostly small 3 and 4's wasnt bad for a 10 min hike

Was there any snow left up there? What were the temps?

Most all of the Burn is at higher elevation than winter range.  I think that most of the herd went north or south during the fire. The burn has zero cover. May be awhile till they return in there. All those canyons up top are bare.

Love to have the tag this year to check first hand, if not hit transition.
