If you have snow, try and get out while the snow is on the ground to figure out where the deer are, trails, bedding areas, feeding areas. While scouting these areas keep an eye out for either antlers laying on top of the snow or at least poking out through the snow.

Once the snow melts head back to these areas/trails and take a hard look.

If in cold weather areas but not necessarily snowy, try southern exposures, don't know bout you but I like the sun on me while resting, deer do also, have found a fair amount of sheds in areas like these, especially close to food sources.

Once you have done this for a few years (assuming you have access to the property for more than a few years) you will start noticing that certain areas produce antlers year after year. Took about 4-5 years of looking on a buddies property before we figured it out (about 500 acres) and now consistantly find about 3 dozen antlers a year, and 80% of those antlers are found in small 1-3 acre areas (maybe 4-5 spots). The land that I hunt, about 300 acres, we find about 2 dozen antlers a year, and those are also found in 1-3 acre areas (3-4 spots)

Outside of those areas of course are just the random drops, middle of the road, poking out of canary grass, turned up when plowing the food plots, found in the crotches of trees (got some strong squirrels yanno) matched sets are pretty rare, for the most part it is individual antlers.

And even if you don't find anything, it is still better than sitting around listening to the spouse try and think up stuff for you to be doing so you aren't 'bored'
