RE: Lets talk about sheds!!!
Adams,
I am from Mass. but all these sheds come from Maine. I spend ALOT of time looking for them in the winter. I just got back from my first trip of the year yesterday and nobody is gonna believe what I got. I will put a pic up tonight so check back. (hint) I got the holy grail of shed hunting!!!

Check this out!!! I was on my first outing for sheds this season on 12-30-04 and only an hour in, I came across this pig!!!! Don't know how he died and don't care either. Quite a way to start off the season. I'm psyched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 27 points and a 55"+ spread. You can't see two of the non-typical points in this pic cuz they come off the back of the left horn. COWABUNGA!!

Moosehornhunter,
Be careful up there in Mainer country.....unless things have changed, it's against the law to possess a moose skull like the one you have pictured unless you legally drew a permit for hunting. Not sure if that's still the case, but you may want to double check just to be on the safe side. I used to live in Northern Maine and picked up quite a few sheds. A buddy found a really nice winter kill rack (not quite as nice as yours) one day while we were out, but later tossed it back in the woods after finding out it was illegal. (I would have been tempted to chance it I think) Maine wardens have quite the reputation for taking themselves a little too seriously!
Nice sheds by the way. I have a nice set that I estimate is around 54 inches wide. I've never mounted them. I think they look cooler just lying around in my den. We used to snowshoe a lot....your sled definitely allows you to cover more territory.

Someone else told me the same thing so I brought them right back to where I found them. At least the same area. Its big woods up there, and I'm not sure I could EVER find them again. But the pics are great...
