Over the years you get to know an area. Of course if there is not many bucks around you won't find many sheds. But early on we find where they are feeding in late winter. Then start looking on the edges without disturbing the deer to much in Feb. In mid to late March we start hitting it hard, walking 8 to 10 hours per day. I start in the bedding areas and grassy north facing slopes, once I get fatigued from crawling through thickets I usually finish out the day walking perimeter stuff grass waterways and evergreen plantations. For us in the Midwest, the main food source for late season is stubble corn fields. We like looking for sheds. A lot of the area is places we have permission to hunt, but we also look on public land where hunting is restricted as well. Some farmers will not give you permission to hunt, but they don’t mind you looking for sheds, so it’s kind of a mixed bag. But I start in my core hunting area first. Grey rainy days work best for training your eyes, but you just have to go. By the end of a good day, I will have sore feet and back with a neck rubbed raw from turning back and forth. Ha! Mike
