Good day shed hunting.

[elkkill2006]

My youngest son (Arlan) and I went out yesterday looking for sheds and checking out some country I have not been in since 1988. It was great telling him stories and showing him the country my dad, brother, and I use to trap and hunt rabbits in back in the 80's before the road closures.

We seen lots of deer and found a few sheds. I also have discovered that a lot of elk have moved into this country and even seen one nice bull. All in all a wonderful day spent out in the woods with my son.

The first shed of the day (spotted by Arlan)

Great pictures and story...makes me want to get out looking. What state were you in...I'm not sure much has dropped in Montana yet.

Thanks guys ! It was just really nice getting out and about. It seems with the way the weather has been every weekend I would never get out. And then the remodeling and painting in the house hasn't helped either.

We are in Colorado.

All the whitetail in my neck of the woods are already showing pretty good growth already, haven't seen a horn on a head since first part of February. Went up on the front the other day to look at deer though, and saw quite a few smaller muleys still packing.
