Heres the weirdest shed Ive ever found, it resembles a tree root, or a piece of corral, but has a large base of a big buck! Tried to find the other side but no luck!

this shed is a year old already, and the rats have found it before me!

Heres Georgias first of the year, a nice fresh 3 pointer, She could of set a new world record for the 5 yard dash! I almost fell over laughing!

In the same area, we were actually heading out, I almost stepped on this beauty, a nice 84 inch freshy! That would be about a 190 class buck! We searched hard for the mate and also went back today for several hours but to no avail.

Heres another dandy shed I picked up this past hunting season in reg.3. Found it in one of my favorite spots. He broke off his browtine fighting, the tree rats chewed about 2-3 inches off his g-4, but with a conservative estimate on the missing points this shed measures 89 4/8 inches, making him a 200 class buck! I have never seen anything like him in the area before.

So far im up to 13 sheds this year, but lots of old, chewed, and small crap. Ok im done for now!

Nice finds their Mark. The one your holding up, looks alot like the sheds mounted on a plaque at bear creek sports, Keep on walking you will find more. Snows are not melting fast enough for for me.

Nothing so far, I know a few places where I could go and find whitetail sheds but thats not what I'm after.
I was going to go out today but we had a little blizzard move through, and with the snow and fog the visiblilty was NIL:lol: so maybe tomorrow.

That's a good one Mark! We saw 4 different good-sized 4-points over in 3 at the end of the season, so I'm waiting for the snow to disappear so I can quad down to the winter range where I know they hang out to see if I can stumble on some of them (or others!).

No shed huntin' where I'm at right now, but there sure are some sweet lookin' senioritas in bikinis walking by! ;-)

Was good to meet you also Wildman!

I took the big 5 point shed into Bear Cr. sports today, we dont think it is from the same buck as Duanes set on the wall, but definately is similar!
