This is only the 3rd complete reef shark tooth I've ever found, and its got a GREAT story, but its kind of gross so stop reading here if you're easily disturbed...
I finished my diet pepsi big slam just as I arrived at the pond, and while I dearly wanted to hunt, I REALLY had to pee. I waited until the last minute before I went, and there wasn't time to head to the woods. I had to go right where I was.
