I don't have a lot of information for finding sheds but it sounds like you're wanting to do that while you're hunting.  If so, that's a bad idea in my book.  If you're concentrating on looking at the ground for sheds you're likely to miss seeing a deer (if that's what you're hunting) before he sees you and missing your opportunity to gun him down. :twocents:

You may 'stumble' on one once in a while hunting but that is a tough time to target them.  Seasonal growth, fall colors, bleach and critter consumption make them tough to find in the fall.

Best to start in the spring when they are fresh.  May get lucky in the fall but they wont be in as good of shape.  You'll find the most sheds where the animals spend most of their time so focus on feeding and bedding areas.
Take one new person out hunting every year.

You can still find them during hunting season, and its just an added treat when you do.

I agree look for them still on an animal during the season. As for after the season what you see is what u get... Look carefully.
