Well on my 2nd walk i found my first one of the year and decided to create this thread. If i find a shed every 2 miles im gonna definitely beat last year number of 27. Pulled 4 cams and all bucks still holding except one small 8 pt that dropped 1 side and i found that side. First week of March tends to be prime past 2 years. Palmersville area

Any tips on finding?


If you do these things you absolutely will find sheds.

#1- Dont scout, when you leave the truck your main goal is to find and inspect every white colored tine tip corn stalk and decaying sticks in the woods.

#2- Hunt on overcast days and 24-48hrs after rain. Antlers are hard to find on sunny days. Overcast skies make a antlers pop. Reason i like hunting after rain is the most recent tracks are obvious and you can very easily narrow down the deer herds by walking the fields finding fresh tracks then walk em back to bedding.

#3- Timing, Most people see sheds being found and want to run out and blow through the best spots when the antlers are still on the bucks'. Run cameras and let them tell you when the main drop is. As of 2/13/20, 95% of bucks are still holding. On average March1-March 18 is the main drop on the spots i hike. If its public land i go nearly each morning im off to beat competition but have discovered this year i got beat to a real good 3 pt shed i was really wanting. Hold off on private farms.

#4 Carry Binoculars they save time and walking

Do these things and you will find sheds

Went down to the farm today to work on the tractor and cut a few trees up that had fallen. I didn't have much time, but I rode through two plots and found 11 sheds within about 20 minutes.

Knocked on a door today close to a job I was doing and got permission to shed hunt. Walked about 2 miles in a grid search. No sheds to be found...

I've always stunk at finding sheds. I use the excuse of not many bucks in the area. We'll see. I've had a couple cameras out for 5 weeks. Plan to pull and set a couple more and check for sheds and scout on 3/1 or 3/8 after church.
