    An Illini and a Buckeye walk through the woods, what happens?

    They combined to find 7 sheds and pretty much declare the Buckeye needs to become an Illini.

    The following are pictures all the members will wish to see:


    Buckeye started the day strong, finding an impressive shed that wasn't chewed to pieces after lying in the woods well up to 2 years.

    Buckeye rubs it in my face while I was peeing right next to this shed that he found a bomber! Indeed, this shed is probably a year old from a deer that would have went well into the 160's. The G4 and G5 as well as the rest of the main beam past the G5 was enjoyed by squirrels. I still believe this deer is on this property and I will desperately search for his fresh sheds the rest of this sheddin' season.



    [​IMG]



    Buckeye had a thing for making me look sorry today. A squirrel had enjoyed this shed a little too much but the ole Buckeye from Ohio State saved it from further destruction.


    [​IMG]



    Yeah, insert my dink here. I finally found remnants from a shed which may have roamed the earth with dinosaurs.



    [​IMG]



    Buckeye ends his day with his best shed yet. He basically stole this shed from me and shoved me into some briars. What a jerk.



    [​IMG]



    I gave Buckeye a big enough lead, I figured I would flex my muscles a little bit and show him how to find "freshies"



    [​IMG]



    And to cap off the day, I finished strong finding the match to my first shed of 2009.



    [​IMG]



    The sheds, in all of their glory!

    With Buckeye pretty much stating he is a shed hunting master in IL since he hasn't found a shed in Ohio yet (after 30 hours of searching), he is pretty confident he is going to waste 30 more hours finding nothing.

    Next stop.....Missouri, to pick up a certain Diamond in the Rough called Mobow.

    Well done, fellas.

    Bols, you should try hunting for the things that carry those around:D

    Think of all the more bone that would have been found had a GOPHER been in the mix. :beer:

    I was gonna warn you Buckeye was after your shedhunting Mojo but after seeing all the " old " sheds buckeye found... maybe you are better off letting him have it. It must not be working very good for you ?? :confused: :huh: :lol:

    Seriously congrats on the finds today !!
