I'm in southern Virginia and have already watched an 8 pointer drop his antlers on cam. So I will be shed hunting as soon as the snow melts. I'm not an expert shed hunter but the advice I'd give you is to not give up. The sheds I've found I stumbled across. When I go shed hunting I usually find euro mounts.
This year I've found three sheds and two 7 pointer euros.
Good luck.
