Default 2008 shed totals (probably last one?)

Well, we ended up with a total of 62 sheds so far this year, unless we stumble across anything else by accident, the hard looking is most likely done.

I ended up with 32 myself, my dad got 28 (but he cheats, he looked in some land I didn't have permission to look on) and the land owner ended up with 2. Ended up with 17 matched sets, so there are 28 singles out there that we didn't find.

The driving force behind my obsession this year was to find 5 antlers, I found 2 of them, but the other 3 eluded me, I saw both of those bucks on the 2nd to last day of the late bow season, I have to get with the neighbor, he may have found the half of the big one horned 8 pointer I saw, and the other buck (forked G2 9 pointer) was spotted across the highway 2-3 times in late march still carrying bone, and I was unable to get permission to stomp around in those woods.

Best year ever for us, previous best was 19 sheds, lot of fun this year, hoping to see maybe 1/4 of these deer in the upcoming season, we had 4 large fields of standing corn this year, so with the abundant food source along with a near record amount of snow this year, we had all the deer in the area yarding up by us.

Enough words, here are the pictures.
