The one I just found yesterday was in a ten year old clearcut, and within 50 yards of a patch of willow trees that were extensively used as a buck rub area, recently, and in past years. I was looking for a place to hang my trail camera when I found the shed.
While I certainly don't think it hurts to look in areas with buck rubs, I don't think it's the key to finding blacktail sheds. I'd say the most important factor is to look where a buck would be likely to spend most of his time in the winter months. Which to me would mean feeding areas. And also bedding areas , which probably won't be far from the main feeding area.
But don't listen to me. I can't ever find blacktail sheds when I go looking for them. I have to rely on luck. Pretty much the same as killing a blacktail. (For me)
