hunting for sheds
HickoryBill:
Try looking for sheds around fence crossings and near fallen logs across trails. The antlers jar loose when the deer jumps over the obstacle and lands on the ground.I've found many sheds this way. Good hunting!!!!
tattoo dave:
That's a great idea NTD. I trained my chocolate lab to give him something to do in the spring. Here's a pic of his first one, just found it this morning. It looks like it's a couple years old, can't really use it for anything, but I'm still a proud dog owner. :D
Elktracker:
allong with fences I have also found a few at creek crossings the main thing is cover lots of ground and really scan the area as you go, I cant remember how many times I have walked right over them and my buddy behind me says walked over another one lol
osage outlaw:
I put in around 6 hours walking around looking for sheds this year. I only found a little 3 point. I borrowed my brother-in-laws quad to pull out some osage logs and on the way into the woods, I spotted a couple of 4 point sheds within 30 seconds. Both of them were in real thick brush. It was a hard winter and I guessed that they knocked them off while they were browsing on whatever they could find.

You got to remember your looking where bucks spend the winter. Lots of people look where they hunt not always the case. Feeding areas is where bucks spend all there time in late winter. Most times the pressures off and they'll bed in the closest cover. I wv anything green exspecially honey suckle patchs.
THERE REALLY HOT FOOD AND COVER. Fence crossing where bucks have to jumb and jar there anters whenthey land. Trails leading to food scores. Add alot of walking, take kids more eyes the better dogs are good I have a blue heeler that I taught he finds a couple a years.
