The water was cold!

I posted what happened to me on Deersheds post previously, but I'll give you all a quick summary of what happened. To make a long story short I tried crossing ice that had water running over it. Stupid move on my part. The water was running pretty good and I attepted to shift my weight to jump across, that's when the ice broke. I fell in on my butt and the water was up to my neck. I managed to keep my video camera up and out of the water. My digital camera was in my pocket it got wet. I thought the water had ruined the floppy. The camera is fine and so is the disk. Here are the photos. I found two small sheds, which I had in my hands when I fell. I didn't drop them. So all in all it was a good evening.

Here is the first photo of the Non typical buck. His right side is the goofy side. It apperars it has 4 or 5 points sticky straight up.

With water that cold the shrivel factor has to make 'it' disappear!

Glad to hear the water wasn't too deep nor your camera got wrecked. We have never fallen through the ice shed hunting but have waded through it to get to good spots. Eeerrrrrrrrrr, let me rephase that.... I waded through the water while giving Tyler a piggie back ride so he wouldn't get wet. Nothing like sinking into our gumbo mud in waist deep water and having someone choking you as they hang on for dear life. LOL Congrats on the sheds!!

Great pics, keep em coming. It's great to see the territory and some great shed pics and bucks still packin. Your conditions look almost optimal (except fot the stream crossing conditions).
