Shinken,
  Those pics let me relive the moment. What you don't see is me sobbing like a little boy that just found his favorite toy broken .

[George D. Stout]

Im waiting for someone to post pics of a ton of back hair...LOL

George,

The mass on yours is bordering "insane".

Awesome find.  Keep up the good work.

I especially like the red "beading" I see around the base there!

I to like to get some "as they lay" pics. I took a few with my phone but I don't have the cord to download them to my computer. I'll be taking my digital camera from now on. I'm glad to see there's some others out there with the same sickness I have. I can't get enough of looking for sheds. I make lamps, chandiliers, wine racks, you name it that I give to family and friends. I'm currently trying to collect enough to make a shed Christmas tree. Also you can't beat the exercise you get. Keeps you in shape through the winter. I'll be going back out Thurs.-Sat. Can't wait!! Keep em coming!!!

George,

That's a Booner for sure! Can't wait to see the other side!

Arrow k9,

Looks like we share the same profession. That's an awesome pic with your bow.

Does this count? I actually found it in early Oct. Unknown cause of death. The coyotes had eaten all but the large bones and skin. A week later I went to get the head and it looked like this. The head is sitting in a bucket behind the house right now, for a euro mount.

George,you gonna mount it? Nice finds you guys,just unreal horns.

Skulls count. I picked up a 140" 8 pointer two years ago.

Do you guys try to focus on particular areas when shed hunting or do you just walk around looking. Deer are yarded up pretty good, so I suspect finding where the big groups are, might improve the odds.

[Mike Gerardi]

Bedding areas are a good place to start. No guarantees though I usually do alot of walking.

I like to hunt bedding areas that are very close to feeding areas! Grassy water ways in picked corn fields are another favorite of mine! I drive around in the evening as well this time of year to see where the big groups of deer are feeding in the fields then check those area's as well! It will be another 2-3 weeks before I start shed hunting though, I prefer to wait till I know there all off so I don't spook the bucks out of the areas I mentioned above!

You guys definitely have more shed mojo than I. 8leg-lover's 3 day pick-up looks more like my yearly take, probably better.

[Richie Nell]

I found this guys sheds the previous year then I found them still hooked to his noggin.

I am hopin' that HerdBull checks in with some fresh 2010 sheds!

He usually doesn't let too much of that calcium get back into the food chain....

:~)

Shoot straight, Shinken

Here is a photo of my set of sheds from the begining of the post. I mounted them on a Mountain Mike's skull replica. I used the large 8 point skull I found two years ago as a reference. I fiddled with it for about three hours before I decided that this is how he looked with his headgear. He gained a couple inches of spread so this puts him somewhere around 176. The other photo is of him next to the 140 inch 8 pointer. Keep the sheds coming.
