You’re my heroGood day today. All three in a small buck bedding area within 15 feet of each other. One was actually in his bed so not sure why he hadn’t moved it out of the way

Good luck to you is all I can say, I hunt and scout hard in the Adks and have never found a single shed in my life, not one, my brother has found a couple, I kill good bucks pretty consistently… but sheds no bueno, low deer numbers and mice are what I blame.how are you New England fellas finding these consistently?
I have had no problem finding sheds in NJ/ PA but rarely find any since moving to NH with the lower density.
I scout a healthy amount in the off season
I find my most on food and open areas. Ditch/creek crossing do ok. I'm guilty of walking right up on them in the woods before I see em and a constantly scan with Binos.And rhyme or reason to finding a shed? Places to look more than others. Walk fast and cover ground or slow and scan a ton? Fields, roads, trails, rub lines, bedding etc?
Interesting, I wonder if that would work well at all for me in areas in the south which is a lot of wetlands but has corn and other fields planted throughout. I walked open woods yesterday and it seems impossible.I find my most on food and open areas. Ditch/creek crossing do ok.

If you have fields that's an good place to start. I'll fast walk or even jog the field edges staying about 30-40 yards out where I can see to the edge and way out into the field. Check all the ditches, low spots, drainages, any lone trees or patches of cover within in the field. Then walk the edges again just inside the wood line this time. Thick thermal cover where they can get some shelter from the cold/wind, brushy CRP type cover, south facing slopes, south facing edges of thickets (thick stuff blocking the cold northerly winds and sun warming them from the south), lone evergreen trees in CRP or hardwoods. When I find a bed that I think a buck may have used recently I walk all the visible exit trails and basically grid search a 100 yard radius around it. Its like still hunting, gotta know when to cover some ground and when to slow way down. I might do 4 miles in an hour burning field edges or jog down a hiking trail to get somewhere, then spend an hour picking apart a half acre piece of cover.And rhyme or reason to finding a shed?

I'm in Arkansas but I'm speaking more of some food plots and fresh growth on levees and such.Interesting, I wonder if that would work well at all for me in areas in the south which is a lot of wetlands but has corn and other fields planted throughout.

Thanks, I’ve got enough to practice on with the whole not missing deer thing.Good luck to you is all I can say, I hunt and scout hard in the Adks and have never found a single shed in my life, not one, my brother has found a couple, I kill good bucks pretty consistently… but sheds no bueno, low deer numbers and mice are what I blame.

I’m 16 miles in, sore as heck and got nothing to show for it.I wasn't looking for sheds, but these found me.
