The colder and harsher the climate the sooner deer shed.Best times to look are from March to May.I ve found sheds in several different states up and down the East Coast from Georgia to Pa.There are no set times to find them I usually start looking as soon as hunting season is over.Last year I had found 20 by feb 1st,and 50 for the whole season.So far this year Ive found 2.So all you can do is burn boot leather looking.Goodluck.
