    So I know road sheds don't count, but this one was too good to not share.

    Full disclosure, I'm likely the worlds worst shed hunter. I'm not proud to say, but I've never found one before this year. I found my first with JZ a couple of weeks ago (a whopper at around 25"). Yesterday while driving to scout some property I spotted this ridiculous horn on the side of the road. While I'd love to take credit for finding this thing after hiking for miles, I'm just happy to see it sitting on my mantle. Not bad for beginners luck I guess. :tu:

    Nice find man. I find myself staring at the side of the rode alot this time of year instead of driving. It's worse than texting ha

    I'd say that staring at the side of the road while driving is safer than drinking, :lol:!

    It was fun run for the shed.;) Those pictures really don't do that thing justice, it's a freak antler guys and it should count for the shed contest just for the fact he saw it from sitting in the back passenger seat and it was on a hill on the drivers side. Congrat's again Matt that one is going to be hard to top.
