I am going to do some spring scouting and look for dropped antlers for the first time and I have some beginner questions.

When is the best time? Are there certain places to look (fence lines, old rubs, etc)?

I am in Northwest Mo, if that makes a difference.

Any help/advice is appreciated!

I'll walk the trails they walk. Look around the bedding and feeding areas as well. Went out with the boy for a bit today with no luck. Good luck to you!

friend of mine hunted last week of season in il. and found a set of sheds right where a buck jumped a fence and they fell off.

I hunt on family land in that neck of the woods. 15 miles south of Centerville, Ia, near a town called Chariton. How far is that from you?

I've been out 3 times..I've found 7 fresh sheds,15 old sheds and 1 elk shed (last years)..I'm going out again later this week if it quits snowing..Good luck to all..

Swamp Dawg,

I am about an hour north of KC and about an 45 minutes south of the Iowa border. I think Centerville is more towards the center of the state.

I think it's probably 2-4 hours away. That should be some very nice hunting in that part of Ia!

Scar,
How far are you from Unionville? The property I hunt there is in Missouri, but sits on the Iowa border.

He is prob still a couple hours away since it looks like he lives in St Joe.
