How many of you shed hunt? I have been looking into it but dont really know any "tricks of the trade."
What time of year should somebody go looking in ny?
Are there any spots to look for? bedding areas. trails, ect.
Thanks

if you know where the deer traols and funnels are then you know where to go to look for sheds. but i was also told that if you have alot of squirrels and other rodents around the sheds wont be on the ground long. ruddy

feb- april is the best time that i have finding them! beding areas and a food source is where i find the most,but a well used trail turns a few up every year for me! good luck its real fun looking for them and some great trophies, and a good way to track what bucks you might not have seen or got pics of during the season!!

I'm not sure about NY, but here in IN we start looking around the first of Feb. We always look around fence crossings, brushy areas,bedding areas and about anywhere you find deer sign! Jason

i went shed hunting once. i actually found one side. a small 6 pointer. i went in march. i went to an area that was well traveled by deer and concentrated on the thickest, brushiest areas. i figured that if the antler was getting ready to fall off. maybe they would get a little help by getting hung up on the brush.

March is a great time or April while scouting for turkeys. Putting miles on your boots finds some antlers.

Feeding & bedding areas are good. Trails where bucks jump fence crossings, creeks, and ditches.

They say if you find one antler, start working concentric circles out from that point (paying close attention to used trails) and you will often find the other one.
