Blood in elk beds

[GoatPackr]

Depending on where you are it could be hoof rot. See this often in Western Washington

I have shed hunted plenty, I have not seen deer and elk wintering together at least in the areas I have gone but I'm sure there are exceptions to that.

I just saw a herd of 40 elk with a dozen mule deer less then 30 yards from them yesterday. All grazing on a hillside together.

With respect, wait till fall take it its antlers then. This early shed hunting, people think they aren't part of the problem. "It's everybody else". Think about it.

Do we as hunters and conservationist care about the health of a herd, why is shed hunting a thing to post pictures and smile about?

It’s about the loving it to death culture man, we can’t let people think we aren’t the king of the mountain…

Shed hunting is loving it to death, fact.
