Popular Post Lost Scout Posted May 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2022 We were able to get out and hunt the lake beaches today. Enough snow has melted and they haven't started to fill the lake yet. Tough day though. Not much worth showing from the tourist swimming hole. Had hopes but only a few clad coins and trash. Drove to the head end of the lake to find only a little beach not snow covered. Trash, melted aluminum, fishing sinkers and some more clad coins. BUT I found one cartridge I knew was old. Cleaned up a little I was able to make out the numbers. It's a 40-82 Winchester. They stopped loading for it in 1935. This part of Idaho is remote and wasn't really settled untill the early 1900's. So I found something old. Im stoked! Then on the way to the pickup, I found a nice whitetail shed. Good day in a beautiful spot. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 That is a neat cartridge find, big game, black powder. It is always nice to find a pretty, undamaged antler shed. I would have guessed there are mostly blacktail mule deer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other case is what I'm guessing is 32 long rifle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Love the finds. Especially the shed. The winter snow is still receding here, hoping to find more sheds when access allows. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
