I've found three sheds so far, but I still have a narrow, tall eight holding.

One matched set found within 20 feet of each other and a weird forky spike.  I saw this buck during the season.  His other side is a big four, so maybe an injury led to this odd growth.

Neat finds!
I'm still getting an inch or three of snow almost every other day, but I'll go looking when we get a break in the weather.

Yeah, this most recent snow has put shed hunting on hold.  I haven't put a lot of time into it anyway, just got lucky with these.   I'll wait for the rest of the bucks to drop and the snow to melt.
