Shed hunting

[plumberjustin]

So what’s the scoop with shed hunting?? Never really done it before, and only ever found one by accident cause I happened to be standing on it. Do they usually drop at any random spot in the the wintering range, or would it be a good bet to find them in areas that I’ve seen rubs and scrapes back in the rut?? Let’s hear from all you shed hunting pros......

^^^what he said, as well as I find the majority of my sheds up on little knolls, or vantage points, as the bucks like to work them off it seems while bedded high and having a good, safe view around their area..

Check fence lines as well if they are in your area. ;-)
