The guys I know who find the most sheds, have bird dogs trained to help find them.  :yike:

You look around and find a few, but the dog covers more country faster, and even retrieves. :twocents:

#1 Tip:  Don't go anywhere with me.  Sheds start digging holes when they hear my truck... :( :'(
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Time spent in the woods.  You can not find em, at Walmart or on the couch watching tv.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

once you start finding them look in the same area every year especially elk they like to drop in the same area around the same time each year. I know a guy who picked up a set from the same buck in the same bed three years in a row.
Its all about the bone baby!

Glass, glass, glass.  I have probably found more sheds with my binos than I have up close.

#1 WALK SLOWLY!!!  It'd make me sick to know how many I've walked by because I was walking too fast to see them.

If you're in steep ground, first off elevation of the bucks when they drop. . . Over here anyways I swear the bucks stay higher than the does and fawns in the winter. . . Then, ridge tops or slightly over the edge of ridge tops.

If your walking flat land (as some areas I do when looking for whitetail sheds) Walk in a zig-zag pattern. Kinda like you would do bird hunting. Works for me........sometimes.  ;)
Just one more day
