Default RE: mass deer shed

I haven't found anyMass. sheds in WV this season.





On a serious note, what's everybody's shed hunting technique? Do you just walk on the main trails and really scope out the bedding areas? The set I found this year was my first shed finds, found them up on a ridge about 5 feet off the trail, pure luck.
I've done best in thick bedding cover. Melting snow like we had today is great for spoting beds and the antlers are exposed. Second best is to walk fencelines and creek bottoms where deer hop over obstacles and seem to jar them loose. I've also heard of guys dumping corn under low grapevine tangles andfinding antlers that got bumped loose when the buck went for the corn. Never tried that one myself.Good luck!
