Default Father in-law's shed collection

Thought you guys may want to see a big shed collection. The father in-law has been collecting for 30+ years. Claims he has over 3,000 sheds. This video was taken about 3-4 years ago & you can see only about 75% of them. Needless to say the collection has grown since then.
Hopefully the link works, first time trying to post a video

Yeah, he just drills a 1/4" hole in the base & mounts the singles on the pins.
I should take a new video one of these days. He has hung quite a few more rows from the ceiling & the pile in the back corner has just about doubled since the video was taken.

Very impressive. The garage/workshop is to die for as well... some women like shoe shops... I love work shops.

That's totally crazy - way more than just sheds! It's obvious there has been some serious "harvesting" going on as well! Unbelievable - makes my shed pile look sick. I'm guessing that your father-in-law has taken a bunch of these but he must be "acquiring" some of these as well. Thanks for sharing but try and slow down the video camera panning the next time.

Nice pic, 20 plus years ago we used to hunt around Czar for whitetails. We would stop by this one farmer every year who had a bit of land and ask for permission. His yard looked like the video. Every out building had sheds, found skull plates and Im sure shot deer horns nailed to it. As a 16 yr old, it was cool to see. I asked him, how do you get so many horns, he said when you live and farm in deer country for a long time, you find them all over the place.

wow, I like the display racks for his sheds really clean way to show them. Looked like some real whoppers on the ceiling I would luv to see more of that if you do film it again. I saw more skulls than sheds in this vid no doubt a diehard collector, with a display to be proud of...thx for posting chain
