azhunter85 Report post Posted March 6, 2010 went out this morning to look at an area we like to shed hunt and saw some good things. 33 total bulls from one vantage point, one complete shed bull, and two with only one horn with fresh looking pedicles. as tempting as it was to run down there and gather them up (if they were laying there) we pulled out waiting for more to hit the dirt. did glass up this dead bull down below us, nice and stinky. through out the day we found two dead elk and one deer, tough winter or something, here are some pictures enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZantlerhead Report post Posted March 7, 2010 Awesome job " doin the homework" !! Really!! P.S. I'm sorry I left the bull with only one antler , he was a fast one!! Not yet touched on this subject I'm seeing in every topic......" Pushing,Chaseing the elk".. I thought surely with my Arabian Race horse, Machine gun, and 20 friends with quads and prop plane I could get close enough again while chaseing and pushing the bulls to wack his other shed off with my Loiusville slugger, maybe next time I'll try running umm down with the f-18 or my new baja 1000 rig. Or just call g&f, borrow the chopper and net, that would be easiest. JK, "Push or Chase elk", you guys are funny sometimes....... Some idiot has ben rideing his Motocross bike all over heck and back near my cousins place where we seen a nice herd couple weeks ago, yup- that's chaseing the elk, lame-o's like that will cause a shed season in AZ Btw, just walking locateing fresh sign we jumped the heard, they circled 100yds and bedded again, also returned the next day to the same beds......Havent seen them since the yahoo went offroading through the area though.........this is my point. P.S.S I would kindly appreciate it if everyone would stay out of the woods all next aug-sep-oct ......As to not push the bucks/bulls to the next county before the hunts ....you see they will be desprately trying to pack on the wieght before the rut and winter and are there for surely to fall over dead if captured in a cam photo or seen by someone scouting or hikeing or get jumped from their beds and god forbid move the other side of the canyon or next ridge over for a day or two, If they do that all hope is lost......yeah right......... heck, why don't we all just stay outa the woods period!! Man what a sickening thought...... I for one am totally against a shed season in AZ, but all for the outlawing of OHV's except for disabled hunters and game retrieval, People running around cross country with vehicles, the root of the problem. Nip it in the bud...Don't punish and restrict everyone else...Ohh wait, it's all about money, there goes that thought. As Reynolds told me, it's open season on sheds. If I ever have or ever will kill an animal simply by walking through his range by myself or with a friend or two looking for antlers. OR cause him to relocate and alter his home range he's roamed his whole life by catching a glimpse of him or him catching a wiff of me.... Well I'd just quit right now..... But that's total bs ( IMO ) and so is the idea of not shed hunting whenever I feel like it (antlers on the ground 365 days a year) . Worst case is that the animal moves to the next ridge or two over and drops his freshies there, that's ok he may have dropped there anyway... If I was shooting at them or running umm down on my horse they might get pressured enough to kill over or jump counties... but I'm not and pretty sure 99% of other sportsman aren't either... Happy Shed Hunting Everyone..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
