googled when elk drop their antlers, didn't realise it was so late

 

[GI JEW 555]

haven't dropped antlers yet, is that normal?

Mid March they start normally.

Mid March they start normally.

All the bulls are typically shed by April 15th....I've watched a herd of 300+ everyday tell the last spike drops. We've found big bull sheds as early as March 6th in the cascade foothills

Nice, yeah been my personal experience that the big ones usually drop pretty close to each other. There are some exceptions but the big ones don't cary that other side around long.

Largest set I found was 370 close to 20 years ago. I walked up and down trying to find the other side until I started to turn back and wasn't 500 ft from the other one. 7-6 (7 side was pollinated and crazy. I'll have to look through some old photos. Found a few 330-340 bulls but man that had me hooked as a shed hunter for life. The set last I new was in a tavern in Arizona. Owner a Real pos mounted them and tells everyone he killed it on the property.

I sold them to him. I was home on leave, young, dumb and wanted money to play with. Also didn't really want to store them at the time. I guess he bought them though so he could tell whoever whatever. Always rubbed me the wrong way and kicked my self. I'm sure I'll be lucky to ever find a set like that again… but yeah, live and learn.

I've sold and gave away more sheds than I could ever count! Great story though

Columbian whitetail...Well actually regular bubblegum white tails they planted after the populace was slaughtered on accident by WDFW and the Feds. I see 30+ a day coming thru my yard and neighbors yards.

Handgun Javelina in Arizona. Second season, first success. Suppressed F&N Compact 9mm with Vortex Venom. Twenty-five yard offhand shot. Always told these animals smell. Was careful to skin gland on back, first thing. Then did gutless method to harvest the meat. Preferred knife made by Joel Clark of Athol, Idaho.

I saw a wolverine in the Gifford Pinchot NF, about halfway between Rainier and St. Helens. I wish I could have gotten a pic of it. Popped around a curve in the road and he was crossing. Looked like a bear bred with a basset hound.

 

[ilikegunspdx]

Sounds like that wolverine is really getting around. 2 more sightings since the odfw reported one.

Here's why Oregon is seeing a spike in wolverine sightings

Two more rare wolverine sightings were reported around the greater Portland area after a wolverine was spotted in Portland near the Columbia River for the first time in more than three decades on M…
