Shed Hunting

[hunterharry]

Heading to Klamath falls on christmas break. Never been over there and was wondering about any shed hunting opportunities. Dont need any hotspots just wondering were i could go and maybe find a couple deer or elk sheds. We dont mind getting way off the beaten path. Any info is much appreciated. Thanks HH

Too early to find brown

Ya i know there will not be browns. I just thought i could get out, get some excercise. Doesnt matter to me about the color. White ones are fine. Any info?

Sure, I dont really have info about down there, but get up high and glass like a crazy man

I thought they were all mulies down there

I have found brown deer antlers as early as the 11th of December while out coyote hunting..I wouldn't say fresh sheds were out..

I don't know about that area though, I live in eastern Oregon

out toward that way in klamth falls they have mulies and blacktails and alot of "benchlegs" mulie/blacktail cross.

a lot of people hunt sheds down here so it may be pretty tough finding any. one thing that you can do is head south of Klamath to the Lava Beds and take a look at some big ol muleys in the rut. i was down there a couple of weeks ago and saw 8 or 9 good bucks and a few smaller ones.

Lava beds is an awesome place to see some huge bucks, i remember as a kid driving out there with my dad and uncle and taking pics of some of those bucks. i havent been there in years.

mostly all mulies in the klamath basin but when you start getting closer to the cascades IE lake of the woods there are some crosses and mostly blacktail. as far as shed hunting goes, I havent done any extensive shed hunting but south facing slopes are best. the few sheds I have found are in places that your guess would be just as good as mine. get a USFS map or ODF map and try to find some public land that joins up against farms (alfalfa fields). klamath river canyon, Keno area and/or Langell valley would be my first choices but be sure you know where you are as there are alot of landowners that wont be to happy if they catch you wandering around on their property.
