I agree with everything I've read. Alot of good info. I've came to the conclussion that finding alot of sheds comes down to two pretty simple things. Putting a ton of hours out looking and finding spots where bucks(many bucks) are staying.
I have a couple timbers that produce big deer every hunting season but as far as sheds go I never find many there. But another timber has alot of deer at this time of year, with south facing hillsides and great bedding and feeding areas close by. I save it until I know they are dropping and usually find paydirt.

my suggestion to anyone would be just get out as much as possible. Alot of other things can be taken from shedhunting ( scouting,watching deer and just getting the dog out for excercise). I love it and with the melting of snow we had in Iowa today (58 degrees) I'm ready to get going.
