bill, if over the years you have picked up a truck load of antlers, that is like some of the rest of us, but, if you picked up a truckload in one day, and you go telling everybody where you picked up that truckload, then next year, you are going to have company and lots of it.

 

Agree about the second half of your comment. I meant over the years, of course. Back when my health and age allowed me to walk more than short distances I used to find at least one shed nearly every time I went out. There also was a year in the early 1970s when we hunted elk from horses in the canyons below Hanagan Meadow that our group found at least a hundred whitetail carcasses -- with their skulls and antlers intact -- after a major winterkill. With this winter's snowfall, I would not be surprised if someone came out of Chitty Creek and elsewhere around Strayhorse with a similar story later this year.
