    Desert shed hunting advice

    Cover some ground, then cover some more ground, and when you think you've covered it all, go cover some more. Make sure your looking side to side, behind you, everywhere. Don't know how many times I've walked passed a shed only to glance back and see it behind a tree. Don't get discouraged at first, soon as you find one you'll forget about all the ground you've covered without finding one. Good luck!

    Draw Question

    Did you try?

    My first shed!!

    Heck of a find for your first! If they are not laying side by side, chances are you'll have a tough time finding the other side anywhere near. Like Jimmer said, elk tend to be a bit easier to match up. The heavier the horn, the easier it will be to match up, generally.. All speculation though.. sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you dont.

    New Minimum Draw Weight

    While Im sure most of the people on here are smart enough to refrain (I hope) from putting their 10 year old son, pulling backing 30 lb's, in for an archery elk tag, I cant say the same for the rest of the state and it's slightly irritating/nauseating to think about..

    Scouting

    Curious to know how many of you are ok with scouting for your, lets say, late November rifle elk tag while there is a Late archery elk tag going on in the same unit? Just got back from my late archery hunt and we saw 1 other hunter in the same area during the first week of the hunt, but the second week we saw atleast 5 or 6 trucks in there. Luckily none of these people were in the IMMEDIATE area we were hunting or there may have been a problem.. I think many of these people were oblivious to the fact there was a hunt going on at that time, but still.. I thought it was kinda common sense to stay out of the woods if theres a hunt going on in that unit.. Any thoughts?

    NAP Bloodrunner 2 blade

    Shot a Bull last weekend with these. 50 yards, quartered away, hit a little back angled into where it should be, great shot, no more than 6'' of penetration.. Blood was decent, but after almost 10 hours over a couple miles the bull was no longer bleeding and appeared alive and well. Wasnt impressed and rather sad actually.. considering it would have been my first archery bull.. Needless to say I wont be using the bloodrunners anymore.

    Late Archery Bull ELK (4%)

    Tag soup for me brotha.. Stuck one Saturday quartered away, 50 yards, hit right where I wanted, but barely any penetration. Blood stopped after a few hundred yards, bumped him 3 times after that, finally gave up... Never gonna use those broadheads again.. Had quite a few chances after that, but some VERY bad luck left me with nothin to show for. Sorry To hear! You still have another week though. Can you now go out because of school!? Nah ends Thursday, gotta work the rest of the week

    Scouting

    Yeah too many hunts is probably to blame.. Did have a GREAT run-in with a couple scouting, the wife on her first hunt, her husband on his second. They were driving down the road looking for a certain tank as they found elk "droppings" and "hoof marks" on jotted their finds down on their laptop

    Mine fits pretty well, but I think my Dad has troubles with his at times. May just depend on body type.
