bullwidgeon Report post Posted May 21, 2004 I finally found some brown ones a few days ago. 2 afternoons, 10 miles, lots of elevation change, almost eaten by a gila monster and sore legs for 4 brown extremely midget like antlers and one old chewed up chalky one I walked past last year and the year before and never managed to find. Who could ask for anything better ? Bret M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ernesto C Report post Posted May 21, 2004 Wow very cool pictures Bret and what a monster he's ugly That big shed looks like a good one,did you found the match? Ernesto C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bullwidgeon Report post Posted May 21, 2004 Nope, Never did find the match to the three pointer. If his other side matched he might be a 60 incher. The picture is deceiving. We did find all three of those smaller sheds right on the bank of that dirt tank. It was wierd almost like someone put them there, but no one had been there in quite a while. Last year I made the same hike with my uncle and dad and we found more than 10 sheds.... I might have to go back in a week or two and hit some spots I didn't to see if I can find any more or matches to the ones that are there. Bret M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted May 21, 2004 What kind of areas do you concentrate in when looking for sheds? Do you spend more time around water? Thicker areas? Saddles? I have found very few sheds in my day and was just wanting some pointers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bullwidgeon Report post Posted May 22, 2004 I find most of the sheds in bedding areas. I would say about 70% of the sheds I have ever found were up under mesquite, oak or juniper trees in thickets where a deer dropped them while bedded. The others I have found were just laying out in the open like they fell off while a deer was eating or traveling. Saddles are a good place to look especially if they see heavy deer traffic, but I prefer to wander around in the thickets, it seems I find more in there. Bret M.
