Talk about a little cruel irony....a couple weeks ago my uncle stopped over to show me his sheds he "found". He was at a get together and somone gave a nice big 8pt on the skull as a gag gift. He asked where the guy found it and the guy said "around the corner in the dumpster. There's a bumch more in there." So my uncle checked out the dumpster and pulled out 13 more sheds...one of them a really awesome 4pt. So in a matter of 5 minutes he gets 13 sheds....and he doesn't even care about antlers.

why were they in a dumpster?

One man's trash is another man's... Nice find.

Found this little guy yesterday. My Uncle baled leftover cornstalks, and somehow got some barbedwire in one of the bales. He left the bale at the edge of the field and the deer had been feeding on it. I just about stepped on this before I could tell it was an antler. It is a very small 2pt. Not much more time left for shed hunting.

lol! Thats awesome! And I thought the season was over!

[shedaddict]

Not much going right now.

What is the latest that you guys have found a shed?

I found one last summer in June. Down near Stony Point campgound on Leech Lake. Picking garlic mustard for the USFS, looking at the ground all day and there it was. Nice 4 pt side

I just got back from a fishing trip up in Canada and managed to find a nice paddle. Some of the guys and I spent a little bit of time and did some hiking. We went down a little river as far as we could in our boats and then followed the river up to a beaver dam. We each went our separate ways and I found a nice moose rub. I walked around the moose rub a little bit and found the paddle about 25 yards away. There are some chews on some of the points, but it is still in pretty good shape. We found some other really good areas, but didn't really spend a whole lot of time as we wanted to keep fishing. This is my first paddle, and I would say I am pretty lucky with the size. I hope to make it up to northern Minnesota some time in the next couple weeks to do some looking there.

Awesome! Nice bonus to the trip! I have not found a moose shed yet, but I just started shed hunting this last feb. Good luck in Mn with the moose and keep us posted!

Nice paddle! That's a big moose there! You have to wonder how long it's been off. Great find!

[shedaddict]

I think it's been here for awhile, although the underside was still nice and brown.

I went up to Northern Minnesota on Sunday to check out some spots but came up empty handed. It was the first time going up there to look, but my buddy and I found several good looking spots with lots of moose [PoorWordUsage] and good browse. Its going to be pretty tough to find something right now with how green it is, but I plan to go back up a couple more times.

Since the shed hunting season is slow with all the snow this year i thought i would bring this back to the top...

I believe there is already a Shed Hunting thread for the current year already started.
