Mike what do you usually do with most of these sheds?
I mostly collect just with the purpose of gaining knowledge. I've really learned a great deal while shedding.

Good finds Duke. Do you keep any records or log the statistics of the sheds you find.. or just put them in storage?
I record some minor details to the sheds I find- Where I found, age of the deer, shed from what year ( 06' 07 hunting season) etc. While I have only found two sheds[:'(] (A spike and 1.5 old 6pt) Im hoping to learn a little bit about the genetics and what not of our bucks later on down the road. Granted I find some more sheds.

And Dan.. yes it is always rough ending the shed season. You just want to walk a little more.. just a little more.[>:]

I took all the sheds we me and my father found this year and wrapped a piece of masking tape on them, then labeled them with who found them, the year, and a general location, if there were part of a set, I labeled them A & A, B & B, and etc...... would need to check but I think we ended up with 16 or 17 matched sets, so that means there are 28-30 other singles out there we haven't found yet (of course, I don't know what the neighbors have found.....)

I do keep a record.. I'm a nerd like that. Each bin has the record written on its cap. It's the best system I could come up with without actually writing on the sheds... as I hope to train a shed dog within the next year or so.. and want the sheds clean of any outside smells.
