Hello everyone ! I was wondering if anyone has had any luck shed hunting or has stumbled across any sheds lately in the Okanagan?? They should have dropped by now I think. I was thinking of heading out this weekend, I'll post some pics if I find any....:cool:

I have looked for elk sheds only found a two point with skull attached. Talking to a guide up here and he told me the only shed he has never found is an elk. I don't know where they drop thme but I want some.

And when you see 'em, they really stand out !
Not RM elk bone but they have to be equally hard to find.

We've managed to find about a dozen including a few real nice ones. I'll try to post pics. Quite a few guys looking. Pretty hard to find if you're not sure of where they were at time of shedding. I think the big boys dropped around end of March and the smaller ones last couple of weeks. The snow is melting slow and it's hard getting to some spots.

A friend of mine in Penticton picked one up a few weeks back, it was a 6pt big and heavy. Maybe the match to shedhunters?

I know the spot where these guys got their shed antlers, it's not hard. Its out the vancouver highway from princeton about 5 kms. Ya gotta hop over a gate to get to it but thats where princetonites get their elk shed antlers... ya gotta get out ther early tho or bob A will snatch them all up!

msg me to find out their secret spot! :biggrin:
