Mike - good luck on the new property, buddy. And that was a major score for you when WI 86'ed the earn-a-buck for your area. Looks like '08 could be a banner year for you guys.

Tim - those are some awesome sheds. In my entire life of running around the woods here in PA, I think I found one shed that would compare to what you found in one trip to IL. In the past 2 years, I've found about a dozen sheds here - all spikes, forks and 3's. 2 dead 4x4's.

This was last year's haul - crappy cameraphone pic. My shed hunting won't really start until March. With this Bar Exam coming up, Ican't afford to be wasting study time in the woods.It's killing me. I should've been out all this past weekend.



And Mike, you're right. We were underdogs from the outset - but we kept working at it and eventually took the lead. This contest really is a 12-round fight. You have to start strong, score through the middle rounds, and then make a solid finish. It definitely takes a 10-man effort.

I like our chances next year.
