me and my wife and daughter found 26 sheds in less than 2 hours last year.

we got some good ones too.

we got a super nice lease on the lano river, with 600 acres of oats.

we drive our 4 wheelers in a checker board type pattern and try to stay on path.

one looks from the front and one sits backwards and looks.

and to be honest my daughter is the best at it. she rides on back. ?? not sure why she see's them better than we do, but she's found the biggest ones, and the most.

this is a yearly thing for us. were getting enough to build a table and lamps for our house we hope to build this year.

but being on 4 deer leases we spend all our money hunting and travling to our leases, i keep promicing to get off some of the leases, but we never do.

good post by the way, ill share some photo's of this year's find, around the first of march when we get back.

I found a nice 4 point shed on my grandpa's land (only the right side). It's the only one I've ever found. I found it a week ago.

the "when" is anytime. it's like hunting. locate em' and keep tabs if possible. i haven't had time to keep any tabs but like hunting you have to use what you got. watched for game trails and areas with lots of sign or preferred feeding areas. the"how" i find that works the best is like hunting again. find the places they spend the most time. feeding areas and bedding areas. find heavily used trails and follow em'. they should either lead to feeding or bedding sites. i;ve found many in beds. staging areas before they head out into feilds are good to. the biggest thing that i think is to find and follow trails. after a good days rest the horns loosen up and on the way for a snack they offten fall off. i found a lil wt shed and a lil swampdonkey paddle so far this year.
