Title: Never Been Shed Hunting..
Post by: PersyDonkers on March 09, 2014, 10:42:09 PM: I never gone shed hunting or even found any sheds in the woods but know people that have. From what i read and the pics i've seen i Really wanna go out and try, But wondering on the details is it just like going on a hike looking at the ground hoping to notice something Or is there a game plan that goes with it. Or is it just scouting and sheds are just another sign of deer and you get a Token of the trip. Any Tips would be cool cause id like to get out there and see what i can find.

Find the game.....find sheds. Takes lots of miles and sometimes a sharp eye. Just put in some miles and you should stumble across something :chuckle: Once you can pin point an area where you are finding them a lot of times they can be found year after year in the same area as animals tend to winter in the same area year after year. Good luck. It's a very addicting hobby.

sorry about your luck... they open the permit every 10 years on odd years. 2025 is your year :chuckle:

proven grounds
out there that are worth
spending your time unless you have lots of
time or a decent shed dog.
