RE: What wrong with me....
If you can find areas where the deer have been feeding in fields oreven along fencelinescrossings find some deer trails and start following them don't worry about spooking the deer they seem to know when they are not hunted just don't follow them. When looking for sheds open fields use binos. and don't start looking to far i will focus mine in close and just scan the area thats in focus then increase the distance. If you on deer trails then my best advice is not to look to far and don't go to fast and always look back somtimes the blend in enough that from a different angle you will see them. Right now we have 20" of snow so the may only be just poking out by a inch or two your binos can work quite well in the bush. Lookon hillsides where it's sunny check areas where they bedand don't stop looking it's very rewarding are plus you find new areas to hang stands see trails that you woudn't normaly
Usually if a mature buck drops one side the other should be with in 200 yards or less i have found multiple sheds right on top of each other.
Good luck and keep hunting
