*Camo_Girl* Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Any helpful tips to finding sheds? I've gone looking for them before, but can never seem to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Best advise I can give you is to just put in the time. I spent a lot of hours with nothing to show for it, and then you go out one day and find 2 or 3. I found my best bet in this thick west-coast rain forest, is to do grid pattern searches, both in the field and the bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Buckee is right....Time is the key.......Most people can't go out and in a couple hours find a bunch of sheds.....Most shed hunters spend hours and hour and hours walking and looking. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambo Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Todd and Buckee have given you great advice. You have to walk, walk, walk, and walk some more. Once you find a couple you will develope an eye on what to look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoythunter37 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well some times that I could say besides the ones already stated would be is look between bedding areas and food sources. Well that is where I have found all of mine. Off of trails and even in the open fields. Dont go fast when your walking...take you time its not a race. This time of year look for bright white spots. The sun will bleach those antlers like no other and they will stick out like a swore thumb. And like they said just walk and walk and walk and walk some more. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasksheds Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 To late this year but do some pre season scouting & find out where they are wintering & feeding. Keep checking back often & study their patterns. In the spring move in & follow the trails, check the bedding & feeding areas by walking a grid. The south side of hills & bushes are hot spots. litterly, the snow goes there first & attracks the deer. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
