Default Sheds/Shed Hunting Tips

I've been out twice so far this year and have been pretty successful I would say. The first picture is the second half I found and the second picture is the pair that my cousin found. They were both found within 100 yards of my #1 stand. That being said...where is it that most of you guys/gals find the majority of your sheds...I seem to be having more luck in CRP fields...

Nice sheds. My best luck has come from the bedding areas.

I think it would be fun to train a puppy to help find sheds.I would like to have a breed that would work fairly close.Any suggestions?

I have a Feb/March 2010 Petersen's Bow Hunting Magazine that has a good article on Antler Dogs.They mention that Labrador Retrievers are some of best Shed Dogs to have.

Here is some on-line resources:
