Re: any tips?
The grid pattern search works best for me.Make your passes back and forth close together looking for parts of an antler not the entire antler.Try searching the area from differnt angles too.
Look on overcast days or days with a mist light rain,antlers stand out better.If the sun is out try keeping the sun at your back.And don't be affraid to search the same area again later in the year if you searched the first time when deer were still shedding.
