Default RE: shedded antlers

I spend alot of time walking trails between feeding and bedding areas keeping in mind bucks dont stray far from food sources in winter time.I like pipe and power right of ways keying on the sides that get the most sun.Edges of clear cuts with the best 1's being two to say 5 years old.I've never had much sucess with fence or creek crossings jarring antlers loose but I still check them anyway.I like places where deer cross roads and get hit by cars I find alot of bucks laying dead in those spots.(I tell people I killed the bigger ones)But thats our little secret.I carry bino's a good set of pruning clippers.I go thru alot of briers.Iwalk a short distance then stop and check my back trail you will be suprised at how many sheds you walk by.I look for small parts of the antler just like ya look for small parts of deer when you are hunting.A curve of a main beam or the end of a tine.I hope this helps.
