Found my first deer shed!

[PathfinderJR]

Last weekend dad and I went shed hunting up at our elk camp.  Dad found an area that he thought would be good for whitetail sheds.  We were walking for about 30 minutes when I spotted a shed that Dad had walked right past!  It was half buried in the pine needles, but I saw it!   
About 20 minutes later I spotted something white in the brush.  I yelled for dad and told him "I think I found something".  I found the skeleton of a whitetail spike buck.  Dad says it was probably killed by a cougar.  We didn't take the skull with us, but we took some pictures. 
I can't wait for the next trip!

Way to go!  That is the start of one of life's most enjoyable spring activities.

He's gettin' famous for finding the ones that I should have tripped over...  When he was 7 he was elk hunting with me.  I kept fussing at him for staring at his feet while we were hunting.  Late that afternoon I was stopped glassing a canyon and he yelled, "DAD, LOOK!!"  It was a 6 point elk shed.  If it had been a snake, it would have bitten me...

good find. Jr as your dad gets older you will get more of his sheds as his eyes get worse.  Keep up the good work.
