Shed Hunting Trip #3

Well after my Friday trip I was annoyed I didn't find any sheds, so yep you guessed it off I went again.

Me and my Lab (Aspen) beat each other up pretty good this time.

33,854 Pedometer Steps (approximately 14.1 miles) all through SAND. Felt worse. :)

I was pretty much hammered when I quit. Started hiking about 10:30 AM and quit at 6:00 PM and think I only sat down 1 time for a 10 minute lunch break. But hey I found a few this time. My first matching set, small 3-point.

Found my first shed along a fence line.

Total 6 sheds (most ever in one day), but man I worked for them. :)

3 - 4 points
2 - 3 points
1 - 2 point

1 big 4 and the rest smaller. Found the match to the big one from the year before I believe, that was cool.

Brett - Good day to hike in the hills anyway, was fun but incredibly windy and a bit cold.

awsome job brett! how was your dog feeling? mine is DONE after a good days hike. sometimes i wont see him the whole next day, but he's a little older than yours. but if we had to turn around as soon as we got home, he'd be ready to role!

great day, cool pics, and a good hike- thanks for sharing :thumb

Good to see you found a few! I'd love the chance to get out and look for some muley sheds even if I didn't find any, but it's a little tough here in Texas! Keep after it....those big'uns will turn up soon!

Yes the dog was DONE also Killer, she may have been more spent than me and didn't move much for couple of days after. :)

4 out of the 6 where browns. :thumb Tough to find whites in this area as it's hit pretty hard by shed hunters. But they didn't get them all. :) I tried to clean up the ones they missed, human and lots of 4-wheeler tracks (which I don't like).

But a great day out for sure. :thumb

Brett, good set of pics. Looks like you have great country to take some loooongs walks in. :thumb

Do you have this thing about? "I've got to check out one more ridge" Tends to get one a long way from the truck. 10sign:

Great finds Brett,

So you found the other side to the other 4 point single you found last year? Thats awesome.. Well I know where I wont be going to to find sheds now. I bet you cleaned that place up.. :-) Good job.. Hopefully Ill find some free time and get out in the next few weeks. The wedding photography jobs are killing my shed hunting time..

Jared,

No not the shed from last year, but the biggest brown in these pics from this year. I found his last years side (same left) while trying to find the match to this years if that makes sense. Not the exact area we where in last year.

In this pic, the far left shed is this years brown. The one right next to it is last years shed from him (left side). Pretty cool, the far left one is noticeably bigger...although can't tell from the pic because of the angle it's laying in sand. Over 3" eyeguard. :thumb

oh ok.. that makes sense.. Yah I went back last year to that same place we found those horns that one day looking for the other sides, but never found any more browns. Only found a few more whites. But you could walk that land for days and find new horns. I may be heading out to Nevada if you are interested in going this weekend. Let me know..
