I found on in a tree and one under a pine tree about 2' in diameter. The tree fell on the shed and rotted completely through, so Im guessing it was there for some time.

Inside of tree. We were splitting some cordwood and my grandpa noticed what looked like the tip of an antler sticking out of the bark. I went to work on chipping it out (unfortunately, I broke it in the process). Small 3 pt whitetail shed that looked like it was rubbed off against the tree and it stuck there somehow while the tree grew up around it. Pretty cool, wish I would have done something different with it instead of destroying it with a splitting maul...
Also ran over a shed once and blew out my tire. Figured that was the "whitetail's revenge".

My first ever elk shed I found buiried in 3 foot of ash from St Helens. For some reason I felt the need to walk over to this creek and looked down and big double eyegueards were sticking out of the bank. I dug what I could out , I did find a 3rd also. Lookedlike the water had been running over this shed for years . Im sure it was from when the mountain Blew. It had 18 inch eyeguards.

First shed i ever found was during modern elk. we had just jumped a small herd and they took off over the hill so I was sprinting through the timber after them and while I was sprinting past a stump, something stuck me in the ribs. I looked down and it was a small 4 pt elk shed. I picked it up, threw it in my pack and my uncle killed a nice 4 pt bull 2 minutes later!

We need pics!!!
I dont know that strange is the word would use, but "memorable" for sure.... Heres a couple.
First is from a couple years back, and yes it was retreived... LOL
Second I found while working a bull for a hunting partner, I was looking for a branch or something to rake a tree... looked down and voilla! Bull did come in....
Third was this year, I dunno how many had passed this one up, or if the bull dropped it for me
the road is a closed area, but ATVs had been using it heavily. Walking up the road, I had just commented how i had never found one in a road....

A group of us were hunting in Idaho a few years back and I had just shot at a buck so I had my buddy come to where I was sitting so I could mark where the buck was. When I stood up from where I knelt down to shoot my buddy noticed that I wasn't more then a foot from a 3 point shed. I hadn't even seen it because I was so focused on the stalk.

Hanging on a Forrest Service fence.

In a hay barn on top of the hay. He had to have jumped up on the bales that were stacked 3 high.
