Montana shed hunting with the light winter

Stumbled upon an elk shed 4 miles into the BC near Yellowstone yesterday while fishing. I left it there if you want to go look for it. Also stumbled upon the biggest griz tracks I've ever seen, leading to a muskrat den that looked like it had been torn up by a full size excavator. The bears are awake for sure
 
First off. this years "winter range" is everywhere.( sheds are spread) Second, I asked the fatty elk and deer this spring, and they said they don't love being shot in the fall either. so whatever. I'm just a hooligan I guess. To really answer your question. I have seen fresh elk sheds as early as Feb. 1.( elk side by side set.) Everything else in the woods even earlier.
