Shed Hunting in California & Nevada
I've never shed hunted before, however I'm not interning for a taxidermist and I'm really becoming interested in going shed hunting this season. However, I've lived in California for about 3 years and originally from Nevada. I sometimes go back, however am here a majority of the time and not too familiar with where I would go around here and when would be the optimal time. I live in the San Jose area and willing to travel. Would love to hear feedback from anyone since I'm new to this thanks!

Ran it by a neighbor that I'd like to hike around for sheds. He said that even though we have deer, the squirrels like to gnaw the antlers and I probably wouldn't find any. Who's heard of this?
San Jose, CA Backback or hike the awesome National Parks in that section of the state. Hunting isn't allowed in the Parks; deer somehow know that and will bed down a few hundred yards inside boundaries in sizeable herds. Your main issue will be snow. May/June a great time to find 'em at elevations.

Great tips on where to look Terphunter. And yeah the squirrels do enjoy gnawing on the sheds here. In fact...that's another good place to look. If you see a tree that has a squirrel nest or shows bark damage from the climbing squirrels...have a look around that tree. They might be able to drag the shed over to the tree...but seldom can they haul it up there.
