Very nice find(s)...I'd like to make it out in the next couple of weekends and look for some in a couple of places on our farm.  It's the two our drive that keeps me where I'm at.

I found 3 earlier then 13 sheds on Monday. I will be looking for this guy during velvet and the fall season, but sheds aren't nocturnal. Ha!

I think the camera just made them look big because of the way I'm holding them. It's definately over 170 gross with the double "Y" G-3. I have a trail cam pic of the deer, but only saw him once last season. I guess its why we love whitetails so much...they're very elusive.

I haven't found any sheds this year but my 2 year old son and I have had a blast looking for them.

Dang, didn't see the 640 pixel wide thing.  YES, I'm a newbie.  Here I go again.....These are the best set I picked up last year. I know, they are from last year, but I couldn't help myself. Had to show them off, as well as my oldest hunting partner. Man I hope this works, if not, sorry.

11 sheds so far this season (only 3 of them fresh), but I'll be hard-pressed to match the 33 I found last year.  Honestly, I'd rather walk the woods and look for antlers than hunt turkeys.  Although, hunting turkeys is a pretty good alternative.   :)

Tdog- If you look close at the deer's left antler you can see where a tractor ran it over an cracked the main beam. It's held together with cinch ties. Mike

These were found this year. We tag the sheds to keep track of which property, county, state etc they came from. Lost , but now found! Mike
