Where to look

[Tater]

I'm planning on doing some hiking up in the mountains outside of town and figure I may as well look around for some sheds but I don't really know where to start. I know I can't just go stomping through the woods hoping to find some. Is there anything in particular I need to look for? Do they fall off naturally or do the deer smack them on a tree? I don't mind if you laugh at my questions as long as you have a little advice for a transplanted city boy. Thanks.

Tater, look for them in the same places that you hunt them, along field/cover edges, feeding ares, along fence lines..

I haven't found many myself, jsut mostly been lucky... But the ones I have found have been found everywhere deer go.

I'll definitely keep my eyes open. Thanks.

they are still dropping now in most places and are just beginning in others. find the deer=food=beding areas. check these spots ad the trails inbetween. just like hunting but the opposit. you do want to go trompsing around in their bedding area!
