HEADACHE Report post Posted March 20, 2006 Wow great pickup HEADACHE, way to start out the shed season <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks man, its my first real attempt at picking up elk sheds. . . . I think it helps if you pray. Now if I could only get an archery tag in that unit sheesh. . . 8 years only one tag for elk! Here is the other shed I found today. .. Check out the deer tracks running right over it LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted March 21, 2006 Dude.....nice 7x7 set!!!! Pics are hard to judge.... but I'd guess 350" maybe it is more? Congrats to you on a great day!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AZ>NMcouesaddict Report post Posted March 21, 2006 Heck of a set to find. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who takes off sprinting when I see horns. Not bad for just starting. Even that six point shed in the snow is a beauty. I think you should quit now and go out on top. It's only gonna get worse. If you want I'll pick up where you left off and let you know how dissappointed I was. Just Kidding. The more you get out the better your chances. Keep it up. Here's a picture of a set my brother picked up this morning. Not a great photo. it's from his phone, but better than nothing. He said the length really hides the mass. Pretty heavy. Not sure what he thinks it will score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HEADACHE Report post Posted March 21, 2006 wow nice length! I just heard story of a single antler found in unit 9 recently. . . it scored 268 all by itself! whats with that???? Some guy in Flag measured it, so maybe we can track it down. . . . some guy who is some guy named Dean's brother ha ha ha ha. I'll try to get the whole story. . . . Yeah I am hooked now dudes! I am going out again in the morning, boys and all. . . . my wife says I can't keep them in the kitchen over the cupboards. . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZP&Y Report post Posted March 21, 2006 Here's one out of area 10 from the October Rifle Mule deer hunt. Didn't find the other one, but for everyone that can't BUST A MOVE on the Jonesing Shed Hunters, they're still out there throughout the year... Nice Brownies so far!

Apache7mm Report post Posted March 21, 2006 nice pictures everyone, i think once most of this snow melts everyone will be out for a big rush and pick up some nice racks, still good to know that there are some people who won't let the snow stop them though, good job guys!

HEADACHE Report post Posted March 22, 2006 I went out to Apache Maid/Stoneman Lake today BECAUSE IT WAS OPEN! ! ! I know there's a ton of elk out there somewhere. .. . . I see them all the time. I saw a bunch of quads running around. . . didn't see any sheds though. . . . Going out to another "secret place" tomorrow, ha ha ha ha My kids are getting sick of the inside of my jeep. . . . 2 days full now. Every time we get out to walk a bit, it starts howling and blowing snow all over us, it snowed four times today on us. . . . I might have to call in Grandma to sit tomorrow Where can I check online to see if the roads are open??? Can I call somewhere? Anyone know?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
