hunting for sheds
DiGi:
I have a forest preserve behind my house and i decided to go look for sheds to nock my bows with some horns. Are there any tricks? I've looked for two days for about 2 hrs each day, and cant find any. The funny thing is I'm finding more skulls than sheds. I've got two skulls, teeth and all, a femur, and some spin, yet I can't find any sheds. Any tips would be welcome!
NTD:
Train a dog to find them for you ;D It's actually one of the things I'm gonna teach my GSP pup.
sailordad:
find a game trail and follow it
animals are creatures of habit
they like to use the same trails as much as possible
this is generally where you will find deer sheds
i dont recomend going into beding areas,but its a good spot too
you also may want to walk back the same trail you walk in on
sometimes you will see things going one way that you miss going the other way
terence pinder:
concentrate on feeding areas, i like to leave the bedding areas alone until the snow is gone. the less stress on the deer the better. im also training my pooch to retrieve sheds. im also training my boy how to find them, heres a pic of his new ride bought specifically with shed hunting in mind
DiGi:
Thanks guys! Nice Terence, hopefully he will behave! hahaha
