nyflyer, I have found most of my shed by starting on the food source and back trailing to bedding areas. Some lay out in the open while other drop off in the woods. If deer yard up in your area for the winter than this process may not be as broad, concentrate on large numbers and work back from there.

Love shed hunting, but still to early as I have seen loads of bucks still carring the dress on top. In another month or so things will start dropping and i'll be out searching.

Here's a pic of Crabbie's Shed ( I found last year):
