    Just wanted to swing by and say hey to all my shed freak friends on here and wish you all good luck this season. For some reason I totally spaced the contest this year and finally realized I better see how it's going over here! Looks like Team 5 is going to be hard to beat again this year (imagine that!).

    I'm having a good year so far and am already up a few from this time last year...and a couple good ones too! (I know - this thread would be better with pics). Got tons of new ground this year so it is going to be good. I'll make sure to swing back when I find a giant :rock:

    Pretty pumped about my biggest dead head ever that I got last week. 165 gross and 157 on the 8 point frame. Been learning antler repair and custom painting so this will be another nice project for down the road. Good luck again guys!!

    Good to see you around again, Josh. I haven't found any sheds yet, but have only been out once for like an hour. Still have about half my bucks with antlers though. Congrats on the dead head, its a nice one!

    If you get good at antler repair and painting, I have a 182" dead head that needs fixing :tu: :lol:

    Sorry you didn't get signed up in time. I always like seeing how you do so don't be a stranger !!! Post pictures of all your sheds if want. Big or small... it doesn't matter to us.

    All the teams look very good. We've got our work cut for us just to stay in the running... let alone win it again. This has the making of being a very good contest this year. The last two were fun and touch and go until the end. This one is going to be a nail biter !!

    Hey Tim and Cole!!! Yeah wish I would have remembered sooner especially cause I can't get in the big shed contest....what's up with that!? I was going to win that one this year!

    Yeah I will have to get some pics up. Got 2 more yesterday!!

    Cole I'll keep you in mind on that dead head....still learning right now and just practicing on old sheds but hope to take some jobs down the road. Just want to make sure I know what I'm doing first!:lol: I'll post up some pics of projects someday too.

    Thought I had my first set of the year in the binos the other day but the far one is an oldie. It's a nice one though and I'll be back in here for sure!

    Hey Dawg! See you're having a good year so far too congrats! I'm having a good season here so far and looks like they are slightly early here. I'm up 8 on this time last year! Got another good one yesterday. Nice and heavy...going back to try and get the match today.

    Well didn't get the match but had an awesome afternoon anyway...scooped 5 more out of this new spot and found this giant about 100 yards from the big one the day before. So looks like this new spot is going to be a honey hole! It's last years but unbelievably doesn't have a single chew mark on it. Pumped and hope he is still alive and sheds around here this year.

    Good too hear from you Josh, it's been awhile. We will have to get in touch bud! Keep up the good work, looks like you have a great spot to hunt this year. It will be exciting to see your outcome. I hope you harvest a brute buddy! I'm working on some new spots as well, that I'm dying to get on and scout and find sheds. One spot hasn't been hunted for over 12 years, so that will be exciting to walk, plus it is 500 acres with alittle over 100 acres of timber.
