Cool shed I picked up.

Found this one while gopher hunting.



I've never been a horn hunter, never learned how to score, but I sure wouldn't mind running into the owner of this one during hunting season! Main beam = 32-7/8".

Looks like a small elk. Where did you find it.

 

[smith88]

Yup

 

[guido]

Good one Joe...... I would love to run into him in about 7 seasons.

Well I hadn't considered elk, I thought they typically had a fork at the end of the main beam. I've never hunted them. But there are elk in the area. Southern Alberta.

Young elk with some potential

Jackalope.

OMG, OMG, the jackalope.
What is the best gun for one of those?
To the OP always fun to pick up a shed.
Did you look around for the other one possibly?
Thank You for posting the pic and fenceline, what are the gps co-ordinates for that 'lope?

Second star to the right, straight on 'til morning.

I could literally see for miles where I picked that one up. No sign of the other.

Thats what I was thinking.

 

[sheephunter]

I wouldn't mind running into him either....some good eats there!

The smaller horns are hard to find the match for. Bigger sets are often laying side by side (I suspect due to the weight they shake the other side off rather than be unbalanced). The bigger bulls also drop earlier than the smaller ones.

Nice find! All the time I've spent in the bush I've never came across my own shed but have had lots of guys give me some. One of these days!

That ain't the Gold City.

That ain't the Gold City.

The pic was taken in the Gold City, the shed was picked up a couple thousand KMs south of there.
