SHED HUNTING

[cowboy4513]

Ok I have to ask everyone which this has always bothered me every year I put about30 hrs plus into shed hunting and have never found a deer shed and have found many elk sheds where i hunt in Idaho, but in michigan where i live i have never found one and you wouldnt belive the bucks i see and kill every year i average1 130 class deer every year and still no shed. please your input is much wanted

Keep an eye on the bucks all winter all the way up the point when they drop, then go walk the area where they were when they dropped. Should work. Another possible problem you might be having is that other people are getting in there before you on horses and sleds and cleaning all the easy to find sheds before you get there.

depending no where u hunt in michigan, if u r in the UP, then the deer might be in their winter yards when they drop their antlers, and they wont be dispersed through the entire woods like they might be in an area w/o such severe winters where the deer dont yard up.

Your not alone cowboy4513

I shed hunt in my area as well and I have notfound one yet , Isee bucksevery year and I follow thier trails to where they bed but no such luck.

I find many each year,,, I look to bedding areas and my special spots are little but steep ravines/trenches and fences, places where they may jump and jar their head a little...I am not sure if it is coincidence or theres something to it, but thats where I find most of mine...
