Elk Rack Sheds?

[tob04002]

Hey guys,

I wanted to go hunting this year, but I didn't get to get into the hunter's safety class thing in time so I have to wait until next year.

That brings me to my next topic...I live in Rexburg and want to possibly find some elk rack sheds (since I can't shoot a bull of my own). Do you guys have any idea where I might even begin to look for some? Also, generally when do the elk start shedding their racks?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! You can PM me if you want... Heck, if you help me enough I would probably even pay you some for great info! Thanks!

Horn hunting is extremely competetive in this area. A lot of guys know where the local heards winter and they are there the day they drop their sheds. You can also find them out on the big desert after they open up the roads. I think it opens for horn hunting the beginning of April.
