Default RE: What’s Your Favorite Shed Hunting Tips

its all about feed ....you gotta be hunting em where the boys were feeding when they dropped..... many bucks dropped a month ago and some even earlier.. know what and where the boys were doing back then...

wear out a set of boots every spring...time time time..

dont get inhurry, slow down (especially when you get into a pounded area)and stay focused looking for pieces of antler not whole antlers.. the whole ones stick out like a sore thumb.. the small sheds and partially covered sheds taketime and practice for the brain to get used to regonizing them..

Rain days I love, the shedsshine..

Grid the your brushiestthickets meticulously... I found some dandy sheds on my hands and knees.. pissed I had even attempted to crawl into places... then again I've came out scratched and thrashed too with nothing to show..its part of it..

Try to find areas of lower human intrusion is you shed hunt a SHED HUNTING POPULAR state like I do.. shed hunting is a rat race here at time..

Stay positive, long days without any finds can be depressing, keep after it and remind yourself, even if you dont find bone...your scouting and getting great exercise

Good luck..
