High Cascade shed hunt pics

A couple friends and I went shed hunting Saturday into some country(4000') I hunt late season archery bucks looking for some big bone. We found 7 total, but only 2 were fresh. Found ALOT of BIG buck rubs from last fall also! Didn't find anything big, but they're out there waiting for me. The two old sheds in the upper left of the bottom pic are a matched set.

4000' and no snow, what was the elvation of snowline?

What snowline?

Actually we went up around the corner on the north side of the ridge and hit about a foot of old ice on the road, so we turned around before getting bogged down. The deer have been up this high for over a month.

I think "Bonepicker" may be your seasonally adjusted moniker! Nice finds. Any cat or bull sign Sliver? Love that high open south slope country, when you can find it.

I think I found some old cat scat on top of a rock outcropping in the timber? It was too big for coyote!

No bull sign where we were, but I know there's elk just over the ridge. I wonder if the elk even moved out of the high basins this winter?

Cool pics.
I went shed hunting today, took the wife and daughter. I found a set from a 2x3 and a nice four point with tall eyeguard. I looked for a long time trying to find the other side of that 4 pt, but never did, maybe next trip. Also found an old forky in a squirrel mound, pretty chewed.
Lots of turkey sign and one bear track. The camera was safe and sound on the four wheeler with the girls then I forgot to take some pics when we got back.
