Arizona Shed Hunting 2023: Looking for Brown Elk Sheds
ฝัง

- My friend Sam and I hiked in Friday evening, stayed the night up top and then dropped into some lower country looking for some brown elk shed antlers. I had a great trip and picked up 4 browns and quite a few white elk antlers. I also picked up a few mule deer sheds and a huge brown Coues deer shed that dropped super early.
Thanks for watching.
Just did my first shed hunting trip last weekend. I hiked a little over 6 miles in some awesome country. I saw 2 elk and a herd of whitetail deer while out looking
Every now and then I would come across remains of animals and bones. Got into some fresh elk droppings and tracks. I picked up a cool skull and came across most of the skeletal remains of a small deer or elk.
I think I found everything but a shed. Still had an awesome time for my first go and cant wait to actually find one
That’s what it’s all about. Enjoy the scenery and the sheds are a bonus if you walk into them.
Keep kickin ass brother👊👊👊
I will try, thank you.
One of the last shed channels I subscribe to. Just enjoy your videos and the fact your not deserting your family to make a career out of horn hunting.
Funny you mention that........I just gave my notice to my boss/cousin today that I was retiring.......in 7 more years. I'm not working anymore past 50. I need to hit the Powerball or hopefully some of my investments actually turn around and make me some money. We'll see.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen hahaha I’m right there with you!
Nice to hear the excitement in your voice thus time lol great sheds brother hopefully when I move back there we'll bump into each other
Nice haul! I like finding spots that have a bunch of whites and older sheds like that. Good sign you found a honey hole that no one else has hit. Rest up, recoup and hit it again. Find those brownies!!!
🤘🤘🔥 awesome dude love it
Thanks for stopping by.
I love how hard you work at it. And you have eagle eyes.
I just try to keep hiking till I run into a few. I’m blind as a bat without these glasses.
Wow!!! I love that part of the country! Hill hiking days are over but I need to get out there one more time.
Thanks for the journey!
Thanks for watching.
Great work boys! Heck of trip!
Thank you guys!!
That thick bull just has a look I like, that coues deer shed is pretty cool to. Need to go to Arizona one of these days and find one.
You always inspire me to hike more. Great video partner, good to see you cleaning em up. Keep up the good work my friend!
Hell ya man!! Those were some heavy packs! 🤘 That was a chunky brown set. I found a set 2 miles apart from each other…it was a little rag but still that’s crazy to find em that far apart. 10 more days and we can start picking them up here. 🇺🇸✌️🇺🇸
Sweet finds 💯🔥. Stay safe out there .
Will do, thanks for watching.
That was a heck of a trip. Great finds.
Hey Trent, great video and nice shed haul. I'm a little further South than where your at, but like to get out and explore (sheds are a bonus). Of course summer is just around the corner and that will slow getting out as much.
Yeah, it gets hard to hike and pack out heavy antlers in the heat. It was already 80 degrees the last 2 weekends.
I would venture to say that you had a pretty successful hunt 👍👍
It was a decent Saturday. Wish we could have hiked around on Sunday but it was all we could do just to hike out of there.
Gotta love the White Mountain spring winds!
No, no you don't. The worst thing about living in this area for sure.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen I from Round Valley. I miss everything about home, except for the wind. Great videos. Keep them coming.
I’ll be in unit 1/27 soon looking around 😊
Right on, good luck. Most of the snow is finally melting off in the higher country.
That’s an outstanding haul. Well done Trent. Glad to see you’re already doing so well. Things are about to get exciting for us up here. Only 10 more days.
Good luck to you guys. Lots of deadheads to pick up it looks like.
Utah?
Love seeing Trent out and about!!!
That makes 2 of us.
nice finds man!
Thanks, it was a decent Saturday. We need to get back in there again.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen man id kill for a day like that... PA is pretty tough when it comes to elk sheds haha.
Not What Were Looking For 🔥
Thanks for the video I hope to find my first shed this year
Good luck.
Looks like you’re living are👍
🤝🤝🤝👍
Bro I was gonna ask how do you get in shape for a hike like that, but as I started typing you said “ I am not in shape for this”😂
You can almost never get in prime shape to hike all over these ridges. I try though.
Hey Trent, random question I usually shed hunt locally around the northwest valley of Phoenix but would like to head up north a little bit to look for coues sheds , are wilderness areas a good place to start to beat traffic ?
I like them, because it limits traffic to the more hardcore group. But some of the high country roads are usually blocked from snow, so the road closures act as a mini shed closure sometimes.
I'm curious, how much would the antler buyer pay for a 10lb horn? I've been wanting to get out and get some hiking in, but the snow/mud have kept me at home in Flagstaff. I don't really hunt antlers, I just like getting out into the hills.
A 10 lb brown would go for $160 - $180 this year depending on the buyer/market. I just like to hike around as well and I run into these antlers.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen I guess that explains why all the out of state'rs flood into AZ every spring. Lots of money on the table. Just my opinion, be nice if the game and fish put some restrictions on that and gave preference to residents. I was born here, and miss how easy it was to get drawn for a Bull Elk tag every 2-3 years at the most, the 2+week 3 weekend seasons and not seeing very many other people during my hunts, before OHV's made it possible for all the lowlanders to get farther off the main FS roads. Yeah, I'm a bitter old man. lmao.
@@AnAbortiveRomance I’ve definitely seen an increase in people out due to ATV’s and SXS’s. There were places we used to pick up sheds right next to the roads/trails and now there are people in those areas quite often.
What do you do with the ones that you find? Great video!
We pack out the better ones and I just sell them. I keep a few of the biggest sets.
@@RogueOutdoorsmen very nice! I'm looking to buy some to make some gun grips. Where do you sell them?
Where are you from?
Snowflake, AZ
The first to see this 😊
