Mid March they start normally.haven't dropped antlers yet, is that normal?
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 foothillsMid March they start normally.
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.All the bulls are typically shed by April 15th....I've watched a herd of 300+ everyday tell the last spike drops.

You didn't get to keep them!?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.You didn't get to keep them!?
didn't know white tails had made it that far west, interesting.Been trying since September to get a picture of this crossbreed. Whitetail/blacktail cross. He was hanging out with 6 other pure whitetail bucks this morning.

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.didn't know white tails had made it that far west, interesting.
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.Wolverines!
Pics of one near Portland, that is,
WTF is going on in that picture...???
