I have been collecting sheds for about 10 years and seem to find 5 or 6 every year. I have collected 42 sheds over the years all whitetail deer. 5 of these sheds have scored at least 57 inches each, with my personal best being a match set of 65 inchers. Just curious as to how big some collections are, I know we have some members here that do really well. |

I have just over a 100 and have given away at least 10. A few are in the 60 " range but hoping some day for a booner match set. |

I've got a few sheds myself, I haven't gotten to serious about it.It is enjoyable going for the walks and finding them.I got lucky and got 1 matching set.I'm sure most places get picked clean before I get there. |

I also have over a hundred wild sheds consisting of whitetail, elk, mule deer, moose, and caribou. I also have over a hundred sheds from my farmed whitetail and elk. Some day I will have to take some pics and post some of the ways I display them. |

I've got around a dozen but I never really looked until last spring out with Shedherder. Usually I find them while scouting for turkeys. I've got one so far this year and the warden got another one that I would have found if she hadn't. Goose smasher |

Been shed hunting for 3 years. Got 2 match sets and one single. Had one antler I found when I was about 10 years old. It had 7" bases and around 24" main beams (6 pointer too), although I didn't realize at the time how big it was, I gave it to our hounds, now its about 8" long

I have only been at it for a few also, so I do not have a huge collection, but one thing I noticed last night as I was going through the house looking at it is that I have found almost just as many racked skulls as I have sheds. Thought that was interesting. I always like finding 2 antlers on a skull rather than just one shed! |

There nice to find if its not your hunting property, but it sure hurts when its one of the bucks that you are hunting. Acouple of years ago shedherder,deermagnet,and I picked over 150 sheds,that was great,but what was really crazy was that we also found 20+ racked bucks dead. Thats alot of dead bucks for three shedheads to find. |

I've been collecting sheds for 5 years now. I have just under 70 sheds in total and 3 skulls. In my collection I have 11 matched sets and my biggest single measures 95 inches, the biggest crime I couldn't find the match, at least I don't think so. I say that because 1 yr later I found a shed about 50 yds from where I found the big one and while the overall size looks llike it would match, the base isn't quite as large. |
