Its not safe to try and pick us sheds while you are driving. You should pull over and get them.
Seriously though. I drove the edge of a circle one time that had winter wheat about 3 inches tall and found 4 sheds from the truck!!
Man I though I was on to something. Has never happened since.
MuleySniper spotted a matched 4 point set from the truck. 300 yards out there at 50 miles an hour. He says theres a shed! His dad and I about crapped our pants. Unfringingbelievable.

Quite a few over the years.

Found the biggest elk shed in my life while driving down pavement and having to pull aside for 8 other shed hunter vehicles that drove by it. I spotted it from a long ways away and as I got closer I think the bigger my swear words got and the more intense I was.

That was exactly it, I slammed it into park while the truck was still moving....not a good idea, bailed out and pert near tackled the thing. I know a couple of the locals looked for it for several weeks afterwards, but I had it. heheheheheheeeeee Sure made my kids day.

that's how I found my largest Roosevelt shed (7pt). Pulled over to let vehicles pass, looked over in the salal and saw something too white to not investigate. Told my daughter to hang tight, got out, walked 10 yards and yarded out of the brush my biggest shed to date. The white was the G4 ivory tip. All the miles of walking, biking, etc. I guess we all deserve a gift from time to time.
Found a big mulie shed in NM while driving to our elk area. I was looking up a fence line that crossed the road. about 250 yds up the fenceline I saw a curved white main beam. locked up and ran my a$$ off getting up there. Looked for the other side for a while because this sucker is W I D E. Never found it.

The first elk shed i found this year was off a driving to look at some firewood. Me and my girlfriend had been covering miles and miles following these elk trails and i take a night off to look at some wood with my dad and spot it out of his car....Pretty funny....Just posted pics of the one i found yesterday!!! I love finding them things
