Default RE: Tips on looking for shed antlers

Sweetwater-Welcome to the boards!! I' m new here myself,but I' ve had a passion and love for shed hunting for years.
To find the sheds you have to figure out where the deer are hanging out when they shed.Late winter up here in Md. it' s close to food sources.
I' d check out food sources and bedding areas and trails in between.Anywhere that buck goes could be a possible place to look.Once you figure out where the deer are, do a grid pattern search of the area.Go back and forth though area til you cover every last inch of ground.Don' t make your passes too far apart or you might pass a shed.Sheds don' t stand out like most people think,I' ve found most of my sheds are within 10 to 15 yds. before I see them.Look for parts of the shed like a tine or the curve of a antler.Even sheds in the
Good Luck and Enjoy.......
