Starting at the top the elk shed on the left is one I found this archery season, its the only part of an elk that came out of the woods with me :)
The elk shed on the right is one of the first I ever picked up. I was about 12 and we had just finished checking cows on our summer grazing permit. We were trotting back to the pickup (up the main road) when I glanced to the side and saw it laying in the oakbrush, when we got back to the pickup I told my dad what I saw and he said "well, why didn't you pick it up?" I trotted right back and grabbed it. Most elk around where it was found never grow that big (lots of hunting presure).
The next row is a few found while hunting or checking cows (if I wasn't rushed)
The large brown set of deer antlers were found by my husband. He had never found any good sheds and doen't have the patience to look. One spring I talked him into going shed hunting with me and we went to a place I knew the deer wintered. He wasn't to excited but I told him to make a circle one way and I would go another. When we met back up he had a big grin, said he hadn't gone 50 yard form the pickup and found them under the same tree! Beginners luck! :)) I havn't conviced him to go again since, sayes he want's to go out on top!
The last set (white on the bottom row) I just found almost in my back yard. The left side I found three weeks ago coyote hunting. I had just hit a coyote and walked to where he was standing at the shot (just off the side of a pond bank), looking back to where I had been sitting I could see it under a sagebush, next to the road (walked right by it coming in). I looked for the other side for a while then went on with the coyote hunting. Two weeks later I was taking some friends out elk hunting in the same area, this time I walked above the pond bank and low-and-behold there was the other side! =D>
