2022 Shed Hunting Thread
- Thread starter PEEJAY
- Start date
Found an old side by side match set this morning. Saw a few deer with antlers still on their heads and one that had dropped one side.
I walked 2 miles on Monday, 1.7 on Tuesday and 1.6 on Wednesday with nothing to show for it. I only post this for people that think shed hunters find sheds all the time. I walk a lot of miles for each shed I pick up.
Where I live we have a lot of grape farms. We find sheds between the grape rows so sometimes it pays to just walk the grape rows but I'm not really learning anything about movement. I know they're eating the ground cover or radishes that were planted there and that's about it.
@PEEJAY and @Gator your zeal to find sheds is intoxicating. Love it! Its motivating me more to get out and look for some. However, we have had 2 feet of snow but yesterday and today we got into the mid 50's here so plenty of it melted off. Its dropping back down today though and more snow in the forecast. 
I put on 7 miles last Sunday and got skunked. Good sign everywhere too. I'll get into a hot streak one of these days to even it out!
I found a lot of sheds over the years around honey suckle vines. Biggest issue is honey suckle vines tend to look a lot like antlers when the vine comes out of the ground and loops over and goes back into the ground. The curve and color look just like a main beam curve.
I should of added it to the post, but the shed I found on Saturday, that was just over an 8 mile walk for that little dink!
Up here in WI we have to put many miles on as well. I'll take my dogs and hike all day the problem is they will play with the sheds in my yard but when in the woods they hunt for grouse and pass by the sheds. But the grouse taste better then sheds at least when season is open and I can hit them.
Yup, my wife and i walk at least 3-4 miles on public and maybe find a shed every 5 miles on avg. but sometimes we will have hiked 20 throught the week and still not found one. In late march i'll do a little better. My first year i bet i found a shed every 40-50 miles (i didn't have a "real job" lol) and maybe 4 or 5 total all winter/spring. Now i have my spots down a little better and can feel out new spots. Sometimes if i find a honey hole i can pull 5 or 6 out of one bedding area. Colorado was the easiest. I found 9 within a couple hrs and if we had more time i could have doubled it. We were on a nature preserve and technically no one was supposed to get out of their vehicles. That was the middle of august too!
Eatin grapes and catchin deers! living like a king...
We had a warm day in Michigan yesterday so I decided to try some shed hunting. The ground is still covered with snow which made for easy following of deer trails, which I thought to be a good thing. However, I eventually found some thin ice which I didn't see because of the snow. Fortunately the water was only knee deep. I too will be waiting till late March or early April before trying that again.
We have 2 this year so far. I love shed hunting and so does my son. It's also a great way to tire the kids out!
That's a cool point on the one dead head.
Found an old one today
