strangest spot you've found a shed?

[las]

Hopefully wake this forum up again!!! I've found sheds in a lot of different places but the strangest was directly under a wildlife management sign. I believe the deer used the sign to knock the antler off - there was nothing around the sign that could have done it as the rest of the area was CRP. It was also a very discrete place with very little traffic, so I doubt somebody dropped it or threw it there considering it had six points on one side!! Tell us a story!

Driving down the road on a 4 lane at 55 last spring, I spotted an antler laying along the road, I turned around and went back, my wife thought I was crazy, and didn't even believe me until I spied it again. She hopped out along the gaurd rail, and sure enough, it was a 4pt with palmation that was shed. The only thing I could figure is that when the deer jumped the guard rail its antler fell off!

I also found one as I was driving down a road - Although it was a field road with CRP on both sides, it was still a road! It was a small whitetail rack with four points, lying right off the side of the road.

Late one spring, for mothers day I took my wife shed hunting. about 200 yards from the end of the 2 track Forest Service Road where we planned to camp, there was a large six point elk shed in the road. We jumped out and searched for a couple hours before heading on to make camp. We searched for another day and a half before we found the matching side about 1/4 mile away. It is a great set, now up on my wall.

I've found countless sheds from the train I ride(conductor) on.Eventualy being able to go slow enough to stop and take a few minutes to go and retrieve them.Or sometimes I make the drive to go pick them up after seeing them from the train.But most of mine come from 4 wheeling in the area I hunt.I also have many racks that were hit by trains as well.

Not to much luck here, either other people finding them or the squirrels eat them.

Found one right under a huge pine tree in my parents front yard. It had 6 points on the one side. I do believe that I shot this very same buck 3 years later (12 pointer scoring 176 B&C gross).

My buddy was already at our parking spot on this farm we hunt when I arrived to bowhunt! Yes thats right bowhunt; well he yelled out from just down in the woods and said get down here and help me look for this deer. I jokingly said "yah right". He yelled back up "no I am serious" and was holding up a big antler. I arrived down the snow covered hill to where he then explained to me that he just got here and seen a really nice buck cross the rock road in front of him upon his arrival.

He went on to say that as soon as the deer got into the woods on the other side of the road it stopped and as he glassed it with binoculars, He said to himself "Hey that deer had both sides when he crossed the road" Suddenly looking down the path from where he stoped the truck in the road and even to where the deer crossed the road not 10' in the woods was this really nice shed, well thats what started a 1.5 hr search that turned out for the GOOD as I found the other 1/2 about 200yrds in deeper. My buddy actually watched this buck as he started trotting off trying to nock the other antler off against a small tree.

It was really neat the entire time we looked for the shed he kept telling me how the other side had a forked G-1 and was really nice. I can still remember the smile I had on my face when I 1st held it up and said "did the G-1 look like this?" I believe this buck shed his antlers early that year do to the cold weather maybe -maybe not, this was December 31st 2001. In any case I don't know if this is the type of story you wanted to hear but I thought it was rather a 1 in a million...... The sheds are 160-170 class.

And by the way if you are wondering who has the sheds? I gave the mate to him, If it was not for him witnessing this great mystery of nature I would have never been looking for the shed in the 1st place. Thanks for taking the time to read as I guarantee you it took me a lot longer to type it as it did for you to read it!
