r/shedhunting

Out scouting some spots this morning (Western MA) and found my first ever shed. Happy Friday!

Found five elk sheds near some high alpine grasslands at about 9500’. Under the eyes of Blanca Peak, Colorado. The second photo is how I found a chipped 5-point single and a 4-point pair.

My girlfriend never really pays attention when im searching for sheds off the road. We happened to drive up the SAME ROAD IVE DRIVEN A THOUSAND TIMES and she was looking off out the window. She spotted this and said "MY FIND, MY FIND" and I thought she found an antler, like hell yeah! Nope, she walks up the wash up a hill like 10 feet off the road, and comes around the tree with this BEAST. Man, her and her daughter have passed me up now both once. Her daughter found me a beautiful 6 point, only a few months old, and my girlfriend here found me a 7 point elk deadhead. Granted, its been chewed on a couple times, but guess what? Still the best we have found point-wise.

Edit: my girlfriend thinks shes gonna get more likes than my most-liked post which is like 220, so blow this one up guys 👍

I had no idea they did this lol first time seeing it

Hello all,

I’ve recently found a spot right off of the main channel of a river near me that I went to check out. Full disclosure I have very minimal experience hunting public river bottoms. It’s a large river bend area (Oxbow?) that is about 300 acres, with a few mini bends I found bedding in the back of. The inlet/outlet area that’s the only access pinch point to this oxbow is about 175 yards I found trails through. Just curious to those who have hunted areas like this before, is this oxbow too large to set up at the end of? Or would you hunt the smaller bend attachments deeper into the piece? Any advice helps! Thank you all and best of luck this year hope y’all get the big one!
