How old are you shed heads?

Given the results of the previous poll several of us were wondering about the ages of the shed heads that frequent this site.

I am very old, and I'm only in the woods to watch the pretty birdies ... what are these "sheds" you are talking about?

You should find the answer to your question in the Shed Forum. But in short, sheds are antlers that the male deer,elk, etc. "shed" (cast off)every year so they can begin the process of growing new antlers over the spring/summer months.
