Shed Hunting Tips

It is getting to the time of year is when deer have shed their antlers and people start hunting for the sheds. Here are a few tips to help you find them.

• Scout the area. Know the area and know where the deer lay down, get food, and where they get water. This will give you a better chance and will give you an idea of the population in the area.
• Look in places where deer spend the most time. Look in their beds, where they eat, and where they drink. Bucks like to sleep in tall thick cover, like in evergreen trees, that could be a spot that they can drop.  Also look in corn, soy, hay, wheat fields since they will be eating there. Another good spot is to find a popular watering hole.
• Walk Slow. Take your time and keep your eyes to the ground.
• Don't be late. Field mice love to eat the shed because they are a great source of calcium. This is why springtime is the best time to look since there is no snow to cover and the mice haven't had much time to find them.
• Be Patient. The more time you spend in the woods the better your chance.
