You could be out too early...some of the Bucks in my area still have their Racks...others up in Northern Missouri have been finding sheds for several weeks now...some times You get lucky and just happen to be in the right place at the right time?Do You monitor your trail camera's...I keep an eye on mine and when the Bucks come in missing a side or both its time to get out and do some serious Shed Hunting.

Some times the Bucks bed down on another property and You limited to where You can look,other times the Bucks loose their antlers out in an open feild,along a creek bed or in a deep holler or very thick cover..its a hit & miss game for sure!I found 2 small Sheds in the last 2 years and was thrilled to death just to find them...this is on 100 Acres and with several different Bucks caught on my trail camera's!I found another Shed this past Jan while scouting a new property and it was well weathered and chewed one from last year,since it was covered in a lot of dead leaves the mice and rodents hadn't completely destroyed/ruined it.


as stated...Deer density and the amount of Private Land makes a big difference in finding some nice Sheds...we've been Coyote Hunting a lot of Public Land and I haven't found any Sheds while out walking a lot of Land...some times even a Blind Squirrel finds a nut every now and then?
