Default Where are the sheds!!

I need some major help. My friend and i went shed hunting today in a area that has very little hunting pressure and holds lots of very big deer. We searched for hrs without luck, we looked mostly out in the fields and along the woods edge. Its not like there wasnt any sign, thers tons, tracks/trails/droppings everywhere. Any advice would be helpfull.

My best advice would be to locate any grass patchesor very thick stuffon the property where bucks might bed. This is where I find most of my sheds. If no cover like this exists look on hillsides that have some thicker brush. Good luck.

I don't know if I can help any. You probably looked in the same places that I do. But I will say this, I walked about 350+ acres yesterday. And I found 8 sheds. I only found 3 in the woods and they were about 25 yards into the woods. The rest I found in fencerows or in the middle of fields. The fencerows ran on the edges of 80 acre square fields with no big woods.

Basically, where I found them was the last place I looked. And I am starting to look in different places. IMO, a lot of sheds are laying in picked corn fields. I found 3 yesterday in picked corn. If we don't get out and pick them up soon, the farmers will plow them into the ground.

Six of us searched 1000 acres the past 2 days and came up with 5 sheds, which is pretty poor. I dont know what the reason is . They may have been picked already.

another thing i noticed was that total this year(about 10 trips out)me and the friend have found 5 sheds. All being found out in the fields. And its not like we are not looking in woods, just not finding them there, my question is do you think the tree rats got too umm first or are there just that many more out in fields? o ya and thanks for the replies.
