RE: shed hunting
Just go out and look, simple as that. Though youwould want to start a little sooner thanJune, say Jan-Feb-March. All the new spring growth can make spotting a shed difficult. Try looking along fence lines, active deer trails and bedding areas. I'm sure some other will chime in with some help.

Yup^...pretty much as simple as that..just start walking about in heavy traffic areas and near places bucks need to jump over fences or have a lot of low branches above their heads. And yes starting in like february is ideal...most will be pretty chewed up by now.

RE: shed hunting
Make sure you walk slow, you can easily walk right past one if you are walking too fast. Check near a known feeder if you have permission. (homeade feeder, bait pile) I found three there this spring. Check road ditches where deer cross. Found one there a couple years ago. If you had a corn field standing over winter that's usually a good spot to look. If you turkey hunt that is also a great time to look. Remember you're not in a race, you'll find way more if you go slow.
