well im new to shed hunting and was wondering if 5-7 inches of snow makes it worthless to shed hunt or not? I would think that you would be able to see where the deer frequent but i dont know if the snow would hide all horns. Any advice is helpful.

it is really hard to find them i think its hard to find them with out snow.

It all depends on when the snow comes and what temps have been goin on. We had a ton of snow prior to the begining of shedding but the snow formed a crust so the sheds would stay ontop. Then we got a few more big dumps and then it got just plain rude. They are all covered now until end of april at least. 5 inches is not much you should still be able to see a tine or 2 poking up though they are more diffiucult to pick out.

We had been lucky until the last 12 inches of new snow. The old snow was crusted and made for good shed hunting. We are going out tomorrow...errr today to see if the wind sweeped the snow off some of our shed hunting areas. Here are a few shedbefore the last snow dump...

Awesome pics TJF!! I like the one wherethe shedfell and the points stuck in the snow.

Beautiful pics TJF, sheds are nice as well!

Nice pictures Tim - if you ever get sick of finding those big boys, you can come on out to PA and hunt for the runts with me - bring your magnifying glass. LOL

Nice finds, seriously - looks like you guys have some real nice country out there. Good luck today.

Yes, look for them in the snow. TJF, Love those pictures!! My heart skipped a few beats when I looked at each one... felt like I was there! I have to go back and look at them again.

thanks for the tips.

Great pics of shed in snow!!!

I've found a few - even in deep snow.

The problem for me is that - I KNOW - I miss most - so I have to go back and check each spot again after the snow melts.

When snow is like this - I don't even go out though:
