RE: Sheds...WIERD!
Mike,
Thats cool man...good find.
I have found a couple sets a year apart and one set two years apart.
Below is a twopic displayof a shed I found that I nicknamed candlestick buck. I looked and looked for the other side hoping it would have a base like the candle stick.. 2 shed seasons after first finding the candle stick buck shed I went back in and by accident stepped over a blowdowned tree. About 50 yards from where I had picked up the candlestick shed. I felt something under the tree with the tip of my boot. It moved, reaching under the semi-suspended blowdown, I pulled out the other side to the candlestick buck .... It was well perserved from all the grass and tree covering it. No chews! 2 years!
The last photo is a set I found one year apart..after going back to the same area..about 300 yards from the first shed...the brown...No chews on the year old shed...just discolored from the sun..

It is strange that some can be in the woods a few weeks and be chewed up and others can lay there for a year and not be touched.
This was a deer that my daughter LOST a year(all most to the day) from when it was found by the farmer.
There wasn't 1 single bite mark.

Talking about something weird. My uncle find a deer skull on his property thathad a broadhead lodged in the middle of the skull. It was inside the nasal cavity. The arrow was no where to be found. The broadhead seemed to be very old. I wish i had a pic of it. I might try to get one next time I'm back home.
