That would be bordering on harassing of wildlife and now is the worst time to put stress on them.

I would say that is not even bordering, it is just plain harassment.  I get tired of watching  chasing the deer in the spring by using four wheelers or horses or on foot.  Trying to spook the deer into losing their antlers when they go into that stiff legged trot.  Frankly there isn't much that pisses me off more than seeing this when I am out in the field.  This is the hardest time of the year for the deer, after they have spent  all their reserves and are eating too much fresh green roughage.

I agree bearhunter its bad enough people are down in the wintering ranges during this time of year but when the greed of wanting antlers makes them do such dumb things they need to be shot.

There are lots of sheds that are not found, by lots of people. My advice is...first off, let the animals have their space during winter, then...

just go. You wont find the sheds in your house. Walk slow, walk game trails, have fun.

i have a few ideas:  the elevation  i search   shouldnt of had 10 feet of snow when the animals were  dropping antlers(obviously go down the hill)  south  facing  slopes are always a good start  or benches on north facing  slopes that get alot of sun can be a bonus.any place  that looks god awful thick or steep  or involves a river crossing  or 2  is also  good.  i find alot of old sheds which tells  me  no  has been there in awhile.

If you are married with children get them to like shed hunting too.  More eyes = more sheds in your pile
