Moose Sheds By The Ton

[BCBOY]

Went shed hunting with a couple buddies today. Believe the final today was 38 moose sheds.
Here's some As They Lay Pics


















Here's a great matched set. 52 inches wide, 186 gross. Not too shabby for a Southern BC Bull.








Here's some pics of most of today's finds together.

WOWZERS ... How many miles did you put on to get all of those ??
That's a lot of bone

Nice shots - those paddles sure fill up the frame. Were you saving this spot or did you just happen upon it? Seems like a lot of antlers for a spot this late in the year. Most of my deer antler hotspots have been picked clean by this time of the year.

WOW!! I'd be happy with just one.You kill me with those moose sheds.
Congrats!!

What do you do with all them?Do you sell any?

[BCBOY]

LDB,
I've been saving this spot, waiting for it to be snowfree. I don't have any competition from other shed hunters so I can let spots like this sit a little longer until I'm done looking for muley sheds in other areas.
My 2 buddies and I went to a different spot last year and our 1 day total was 30. Didn't think we'd be able to beat that but we did. A lot of hiking back and forth. The area is thick with False Box (an Evergreen) and it hides the sheds really well. Sometimes you have to step on the shed before you actually see it.

Deershed,
I'll probably sell most of my moose sheds. Except I may keep that matched set. The money really helps pay for things like taxidermy. Put the downpayment down on my cougar with moose shed money and hope to pay it off that way too.

thats incredible!!!! Man, that is a hot spot.

[fisherguy]

that is amazing! I wish i could find moose sheds in numbers like that. Bet you had to make a lot of trips back to the truck to drop them off huh? lol

[BCBOY]

Fisherguy,
It was rather comical trying to get them back to the truck. I forgot rope, so I tied all mine together with flagging ribbon. It worked, but just barely.

[sasksheds]

Even I know that is one heck of a haul.Congrats BCBOY & I cant wait to hook up with you in Aug.Congrats I know you had to work for those!

[dogdoc]

great finds---that's a lot of sheds.

Who do you sell them too??

[Shaun_300]

DANG! what i would do to go out on a shed hunt with you man! LOL thats a heck of a pile of sheds for one YEAR, let alone one DAY! i guess they are a bit easier to find than the deer sheds eh? congrats on your finds!

[BCBOY]

Shaun,
Actually moose sheds in this area are pretty hard to find. You must know the G-Spot or else it's hiking your butt off all day with maybe only an old chaulky one to your credit at the end of the day. I happen to know the G-spot. Even with that, the terrain is very thick, the false box grows boot deep and I've had many a time where I only found a shed when I heard my boot clunk on it. LOL! Other areas it's choked full of slide alder. You are lucky if you can see 10 feet in front of ya. I was in an area like that today. Had a good scare as it is perfect grizz habitat. I heard a noise and then a couple seconds later a big brown and grey object was 20 feet from me. Turned out to be a moose rather than a grizz.
Here are some more pics of some of the bigger sheds I found that day.

[deershed]

Awesome!! If I remember right,moose sheds are not the only sheds you find and in quanity too.How did you make out with the mulie sheds?
Any time you need someone to watch your back for those bears you let me know. I'll even help carry the sheds out.

To be honest with you BCBOY, I cannot even fathom having that kind of success. I think I do pretty good on the whitetail bones but what you did in one day blows my freaking mind.

[Saskbuck40]

Thats unreal. One day in march i found 16 whiteys. It seemed like they were everywhere i looked. I thought that was shed hunting at it's best... i guess you prooved somebody wrong. lol congrats man.
