Wife and I took off to the lease for a day of messing around and shed hunting. We looked for quite a while without any luck. We moved to my bow stand and took off separate directions. I wasn't really watching where I was going and walked into this before I noticed it. (notice the eyes)

My .17 was back in the ranger so I yelled for her to go get the Ranger and come over to me.

I am positive there is more in this den, and we are going back next weekend to find them, but this is what we ended up with.
