Shed hunting is a great excuse to get outside in the lull of the year.. when the fish aren't biting yet... seasons are closed...weather is poor.... turkey's aren't gobbling.

I'll be scouting for turkeys on Tuesday... if I find any sheds at all this year.... its usually then..... its sort of a multi-purpose trip to look for both...

I used to put out shed collectors when I was a kid. I got several nice antlers that way. Dig a trench about 8" deep and over the trench lengthwise run a piece of chicken wire between two electric fence poles. Fill the trench with corn.... any bucks that come by to feed will rack their antlers on the fence... often knocking them off... and right there at the base of your little set up. Amazingly simple and effective.
