Yup, you bet.
I usually would give a estimated spread of 18'' unless I have tcam pics of the buck that say otherwise.

My Shed Collection
I spend about 30 hours every spring beating the bushes.
I consider a 1 shed a day to be good, I have found as many as 6 in a day.

A few more from today... and sadly, almost done for the year.
It's hard to see from this last pic, but the 2 on the left both have 26" mb's.

One year i had a "favorite" big old spruce tree to check every week or so. In 3 visits one week apart i scooped 3 matched sets. It must of been a hot spot to lay. And they were all 150" plus sets.

Here's my Dad's final tally of the year. 57 deer, wt and mulie, and 2 moose... so that's about 59 more that should have been in my collection, but what can you do!

We got six more this weekend by athabasca. One of the farmers we know found a 186" (rough) set of WT. The pics don't do them justice. To top it off he had found the bucks set from last year. I have one more spot by Edson them I'm done for the year.

We found our last sheds of the year last weekend. Giving me a total of 39 and my dad a total of 26. With a combined total of 50 WT, 13 mule deer, and only 2 moose. Our biggest WT scores 72 6/8. We have some sort of history (trail cam pics or previous sheds) with 13 of the deer. It was my best year ever but not my dads. But over all a good season. I found my first of the year February 15 and my last May 29. Thanks everyone for sharing your pics.

Wow! Nice sheds gone fishing! And it's good to see that your dad likes to get out and find more sheds than you.. Haha  jk.. But good job man and can't wait till next year... And youngbuck that is a nice set but I don't think that buck makes 186 .. It's only 4x4 with a small g4.. But never the less those lOok like some big sheds .. Congrats to your buddy and hope he is still huntable..

trust me, I know how to score a deer and when i say the pics don't do them justice i mean it. It was a few weeks ago so i forget most of the measurements but i know the main beams are 30 inches.

Hmm somehow i missed this pic BH 66 . Those sheds your buddy is holding right there are a lot of the reason i shed hunt ,in hopes of finding something like that.!!!!
Well i never collected half of what some of you did but i sure has heck put time in when we had all that deep snow until mid May. Heres what i layed out on the garage floor. found about 26 sheds.
I am going to try some stains and refurbish some of the Old bleaced ones ,, heres a start, but is a little to orange for my liking.

Nice job... doesn't appear to look too orange in the pic.
It seemed like you found more than 26 during the season, but nice haul nonetheless!
