RE: Shed hunting
A lot of times shed hunting seems to be feast or famine, at least for me. I've had good outings and bad outings. This past weekend I spent about 3 hours out with my two labs and covered several miles of deer trails and came up empty. Not that I have trained shed dogs but there's always a chance they might pick something up. Then Sunday I went out alone and focused on glassing wheat fields. Within a couple hours I had found 4. All were spotted from a long distance using good binos glassing wheat fields. During this outing I also saw 30+ deer and several bucks carrying antlers. In my opinion expecting to have good results just covering 100 acres may be a little lofty. Your best bet will be keying in on the feeding areas, and hopefully these are open fields that you can scan with binoculars. I have found a number of sheds in tall grass and in the woods, but you can cover a lot more ground glassing the big feed fields.
