Edit:  Should I be looking in the thick stuff?  or in the open grassy areas?  Where there is snow?  Or mostly snow free? 

You need to look where the deer were hanging out while they were shedding.  Yes it sounds obvious, but it's where you need to look.   Where the grass/snowline is now is most likely not where it was 2 months ago...    You need to search different elevations till you find the sweet spot.   There is no shortcut to finding sheds, you'll earn everyone you find while starting out.  It's what makes it fun.

Miles, I agree. I have a lot of miles put in in the last month or so and I am empty handed during that time. I still enjoy it. Keep putting in the miles for success.

I am in the same boat as you. Lots of looking and no sheds. I have a hound so I just need I couple so I can train her to find them for me.

 :chuckle: You may want to look along trails and look around fences and logs they may jump over the jolt sometimes is enough to have something drop.
