Too bad I forgot my camera! We found 8 sheds today, one new and ALL of them were a pain to spot. A lot of "just the right angle" kinda stuff. Wife literaly tripped on a big forkie.

Did not even think this was an antler until I gave a "test" kick. Furry little sucker.
I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.

I hardly have gotten to shed hunt at all this year, so I am living vicariously through this thread... :chuckle: :chuckle:

here is one I found this year.  Good thing it was not a rattlesnake, or I would have had to rush stickslinger to the E.R.  He almost stepped on it as he walked past it.   :chuckle:  thanks buddy for letting me find one.   ;)
