Shed hunting pointers

LOL.

 

I can tell you, MANY of the guys that have piles.....don't work hard. They romp everywhere with that quad. Just go check your elk country and you'll see the tracks. From what I've seen from elk, the sheds are the same locations as the summer/fall elk. I liked finding them, but you can only do so much with them. I wish G&F would outlaw the sale of them.

 

Before the quad boom, I found 5 to 10 elk sheds a year and only walked 5 miles or less. (the good ole days...apparently)

They are definitely not in the summer locations or there would be alot more easy browns

My best spot the elk don't move all year. They are in the exact same place in August as they are right now. They seem to head up higher to eat the aspens in the summer and sit lower in the sun spots during the winter but don't move more than a few miles.

I've hiked 2 spots recently, no more than a few miles from I-17, and found 2 nice sheds from last season. I was shocked considering all the shed hunters I've seen parked out there. Every time I get more than a few miles from a road, basically out of lazy man's hiking or quad range, I find sheds.
