Ive seen a couple good write ups on how to find sheds on here from guys that have found many. First you need to find an area where the deer are at when they fall, wintering areas depending on amount of snowfall in that area. Then find bedding and feeding areas and the travel routes between them. Then stack on the miles, zigzagging through the areas. Its all worth it once you find them. Good luck :hello:

That last muley shed is a hog!  Does your dog help find 'em or is he/she just out for a day walking in the hills with you?

The first thing to consider if you want to be successful is get to an area where you can see the ground from further away than 5 feet.  Since I started school over here at the University of Idaho I've probably picked up close to 100 in the two years I put time into it.  No way I'd have found anything close to that in the brush of the west side.  That's the #1 reason why you see so many WT/Muley and elk sheds from the east side over here.

Then you look specifically for the right terrain, like south facing slopes with feed and adjacent bedding areas.  Try all those places and document where you find them, then look on maps or Google Earth and you develop a good idea of the elevation that they drop at.  Use that information to make yourself more successful in the future. 

When I first started looking over here I might find one or two on a good day, but when I figured out the elevation and stuff I'd find 4-8 per day regularly.

He is still a young dog and was just mainly out for the hike, he has found us a moose paddle. I have been playing fetch with sheds with him this year so i hope this spring he finds a few more.  :)
