I walked my butt off this year and it paid off. I had plans to walk a new awesome ranch, but due to circumstances with my contact for that ranch it will have to wait til next year. I walked my usual spots several times and walked 1 new ranch I got permission to be on. I plan to go back in a week or 2 to clean up what I may have missed. This has been my best year ever. I hope to walk a little more at a ranch I am going axis hunting at Friday and hope to find a few more good ones. Along with a giant axis. As the title says 165 sheds (8 sets) and 8 skulls. Mostly year old and older sheds. Mostly small ones, but to me they count! Skulls......The back row middle 8 pt was a rifle kill I shot in 2011, but couldn't find him. Finally did this Spring. My favorite part. Sets I found. I found 8 total but I mixed them up in the last picture and forgot to pull them out for this picture. Back left scored 148" with an 18" spread. 8 under him scored 136 with 17" spread. Pretty much all fresh ones. A few big big older ones but 98% fresh.

Great finds, wish I lived close enough to spend more time looking for sheds. Cows and vermin get most of ours I guess.

Way to go I walked my BoBo off this year and only found a couple of small ones.

Thx guys. Not sure how many miles I walked but if I had to venture a guess I would say around 100 miles in 2.5 months of looking. I went out every weekend also and during the week when time allowed.

That's neat Bulldog. A great way to spend some time in the field. What do you do with them?

Love that heavy, gnarly guy, bottom center skull. Have any pics of him alive?
Good work.

I keep all of the good ones and good big old sheds. The weathered ones and small ones I give away to whomever.
No pics of that guy alive cameron00 as I found him on my new ranch I was able to look on.
I will try to take pics of my hunting room and how I display them. I almost (yes almost) love shed hunting more than real hunting.
