Hunting sheds
Ive been curious and haven't found a lot of info on here about hunting sheds. Ive never done this and was wandering if there is a certain type of area that deer shed their rack. I watched a guy on TV and he always hunted along the edge of a woods in a field. Any advice or a link to a good site.

I have only been hunting sheds for a few years, with little luck. I hear of guys finding like 100 antlers in a day, here that isn't the case. I have only found two antlers so far, one in a big open field, and the other in a plowed field. Fields are a good place to check, at least for me. I also like to check thicker brushy areas around deer trails where bucks travel because the low brush can knock the antlers off if they're ready to go. Good luck,

RE: Hunting sheds
This is somthing I recently started to do to take up some of my free time since hunting season has been over. What started me is I shot a nice deer the last part of Dec. who had already lost his antlers. Now I have been hunting for them as much as I can which has been 3 times. I have found an antler each time but so far they have all been last years. 2 I found in some real thick stuff off a field and one in a field. I personaly think that the best area is near a bucks bedding area as it is usually near a thick escape area. Stay on deer trails that go from fields or open areas to thick areas. Any way thats where I have had my luck so far.
