Sitting here in Northern Wisconsin with a foot of snow on the ground. Makes for some hard shed hunting. I wont be out till end of March / early April. Yall southern boys don't know how good you got it.
Yea but u guys got some monster racks fallin up there... Pros and cons. Im not really south at all anymore but most of our deer in MD wont drop until late feb early march anyway. I just keep hitting spots until they fall. Only small stuff so far. its good scouting for new public land deer spots. and exercise for turkey season. I hold off on my honey holes til march so i dont spook em out of where i know they like to bed. I did hit one already so my wife could find one and im pretty sure we ruined it. Found nothin too. She gets salty if i keep bringin her to junk new spots haha.

I like looking in the snow. They stand out pretty good. Overcast and rainy is my favorite. They glow

Maybe this is a dumb question but did you find the set laying like that? Or did u lay them like that to take the picture? I’ve never even found a matching set! Found a couple spikes laying in a corn field but can’t find a big one haha

They were found like that. I’ve probably picked up over 200 sheds and that is maybe my 10th set and only maybe the third where they were laying that close together

Hey fellas, what's your secret to finding sheds? Do ya'll use a dog? I know deer density matters of course and that may be part of it, but I have marginal success although I cover a lot of ground, check bedding areas, south facing slopes, known late season feeding areas. Any other tips?
Looking in the corn pile has worked good for me lol...
