Best Day Shed Hunting this Year!

Started hiking at 10 am. and found this winterkill 20 feet off the road. You can see the road below the trees in the photo. I found the set of sheds off this same bull last year. It's too bad that he died, but I'm glad to have found him.





I decided to keep hiking. After finding the winterkill I didn't know if hiking more would be worth it since this was the biggest find of my shed hunting trips ever. It didn't take long and I found a this small 5 point with some velvet still attached.
I then spotted the biggest 6 point antler I ever seen. It is HUGE!

I then began the search for the other side and found this year old, heavy 7 point antler.
Finally, several hours later I found the match to the big 6.



My pack was fully loaded...
...and so was my car.
