Shed hunting tips and techniques
1.) Scouting will really increase your success when shed hunting. Be sure to know were your local deer herds winter and scout
these areas for bucks before they start to drop their antlers. As long as your not chasing deer around, I wouldn't worry to much
about spooking potential antler dropping bucks out of the area.
2.) Be sure to start looking for sheds while there is still some snow on the ground. Doing this will allow you to find feeding and
bedding areas as well as the trails that connect them, these will be good spots to look for sheds. Don't forget to come back once all
the snow is melted to make sure you didn't miss any antlers that were covered up.
3.) While looking for sheds, try not to look to far off in the distance -- look closely, right in front of you ( approximately ten to fifteen
yards -- any farther and you could walk right by them ). You are far more likely to miss sheds that are close to you than you are to
spot one off in the distance, that is if your looking in wooded areas. For more open country using binoculars or a spotting scope can
be a very affective way of spotting sheds.
