I find on average about 100 sheds a year.
I'll keep that years find in a stack by themselves till the holidays then I combine them into the tree.
About ran out of room for adding to the tree.Told momma we are gonna have to move to a bigger house!
Here's the stack from 08.93 sheds.

THAT IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS TREE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! :notworthy:
Shedhead, That's really cool! That gives me an idea for our mailbox. I'll never find enough to do the tree thing!!!
Excellent ShedHead!
Ray, You are right, I should be smiling, my brother missed the buck whos sheads I'm holding....and he's still out there! Ha!
Dang man don't anyone hunt deer in your state? Around these parts 90% of the deer never get to shed!
WOW! That's a cool stack-o-sheds!!!
What part of MO are you in? I'm over in KC.
Awesome Christmas Tree!!! Great way to display them.
Amazed at the quantity of antlers found and displayed. Are they found on public or private land. I have seen that many on hunting ranches in Texas in the past.

Dave,I live north of K.C. about 30 miles.
Alot of these sheds came from the Northland down there.
Also alot of them are from public ground.
I travel all over the state and a bit in Kansas as well.
Only about 6 of them come from ground that I actually hunt.And of course they are the small ones.
A couple of the bigguns come from public land that I should really try to go after.BUT...I'm not as successful at hunting as I am shed hunting.
I can find the bigguns shed or dead but sure can't seem to kill em though.But I'm o.k. with that!
The mailbox I've been wanting to do for a long time but where we live they would be stolen.
So my parents let me do it to their mailbox.
I told my dad they probably won't last long.Either get stolen or squirrels will eat them...
Well he called me about a month after I did it and said "I got some bad news about the mailbox".I thought great someone stole some...
He proceeded to tell me when he went out the driveway there was a squirrel on the mailbox with a screwdriver in his hands grinning big.lol
Shedhead, you need to seek help right away for this addiction, man what a stack.
Seriously, very cool way to use your found sheds, good on ya buddy.
Oberon
Robert,I think you could give shed huntin seminars!
I only find em from the tractor!
"A couple of the bigguns come from public land that I should really try to go after.BUT...I'm not as successful at hunting as I am shed hunting."
Well Shedhead, hows about we hook up and tag team a couple of them bad boys on public land? Two heads are better than one eh? I bet we could at least get some opportunities.
p.s. I sent you a pm.
Hey guys!Thanks for all the replys!
Here's a group photo of 121 sheds out of 129 for my 2009 season.
Two years ago I got a lab and successfully trained her to find sheds.In the last two seasons she has found about 40 sheds on her own.I also have her find the ones I find as well.
ANYWHO!HERE'S A PIC!

How do you train a dog to find sheds? I have a lab/pit bull mix that I would like to train.
Shedhead...thats the neatest thing I have ever seen. I have picked up a few sheds ...and a couple of nice ones, but your collection is unreal...
Awesome pics. But funny... All I see are limb bolts and knife handles . :thumbsup: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: <><
