I always enjoy these pics. The Elk is a beautiful animal. Pappy, do you have to have a special permit to shed hunt?

I admit, I had not thought about needing a permit to pick up antlers. Google searched Colorado's rules and found:

Colorado prohibits shed hunting from Jan. 1 to April 30 west of I-25. There are additional restrictions on the Gunnison Basin.

I guess that just shows the times and the crowds that are enjoying the outdoors.

Does it count if the dogs drag ‘em up?

Somewhere out in my barn, is a bushel basket heaped up full of Whitetail sheds that Ol’ Rusty dragged up during his lifetime.

He would find them off somewheres, drag ‘em up in the yard, and chew on ‘em.

I would have to keep ‘em picked up to keep from hittin’ ‘em with the mower.

As far,as I know, you only need a shed permit if you resell them. For personal use, no permit necessary. That includes if you make artistic use, no permit necessary.

Thanks Pappy.

Had another bunch of elk run through the back yard this evening. Something had spooked them, but I couldn't see anything unusual. You'll have to zoom in to see them. Haven't figured out how to get my phone camera to take a picture as I was seeing it.

That is absolutely beautiful !!!

Rained a little yesterday and the local bad girls came for a visit.

I’m afraid that your porch would be a “DAY KILLER” for me!

Mine is bad enough as it is!

Had a few visitors this afternoon. Odd, they usually don't show until dusk. 40 head behind my daughter’s house across the street.
