Elk shed

[pmcgovern]

My nephew was out walking around their property yesterday and stumbled on this elk shed. Pretty good Roosevelt!!! We were out there a week or so ago and saw a bunch of elk. Some pretty good bulls around here this year!!! Think I'll go out tonight and try to match this set up.

I really like the color of the Roosevelt's horns.

Wow, his first half elk. That should be good for a trip to the ice cream shop

Update..... Found another shed. Doesn't look like the match to the first one, although it could be. Found it about 60 yards from the first one. Coloration is close. Walking a different route back to the house and stumbled upon this elk carcass. Head gone. Legs cut off. Boned out. At least they took the damn meat. Fish & Game coming out tonight. My hope is that someone arrowed him on the other side of the fence and had to come get him. With that being said, the right thing to do is knock on the damn door and ask for permission. I'll be going out there tonight to help put up all new signage. I certainly hope it wasn't poached.

man that meat was sure picked clean wasn't it? ive had 3 diff land owners that ive asked if I could retrieve game after an elk or deer made it into prop to die. been turned down every time and they all got free meat. as a land owner id let people in to retrieve too, but some guys don't have the couth to ask. I hope it wasn't poached too. one of these years ill have to come to Oregon to chase those Roosevelt's, love those antlers, nice find!
