No blisters, but the dog lost about 10 pounds, and my boots are shot

Had about 400 acres to look on, the odd part about it, found the majority of the sheds on about 80-100 acres. Find them year in and year out in these areas. Used to spend alot of time on a buddies property (never hunted it) and it took about 3-4 years to figure that land out, but once we did, we consistantly found the majority of the sheds in the same areas year in and year out (little over 600 acres for that area)

If you have the land to look on, find the bedding areas and the feeding areas and work them and everything in between. If you have access to a shed, take it with you, toss it out, over your back and train yourself to see the bone in the clutter of the woods, it takes time but eventually they will start to jump out at you.

When we first started looking about 10-15 years ago (also at the advent of QDM in the area) we didn't find anything the first few years, but as time progressed, it started to get easier (or at least seemed to) probably didn't hurt that the yearling bucks had a chance to get a bit older, can't find sheds if the bucks are harvested during the hunting seasons.
