Title: Blacktail shed hunting tips
Post by: Gunitharvester on February 25, 2016, 03:03:14 PM: Anyone have any tips they would care to share about blacktail shed hunting? I haven't had much luck, maybe I'm looking in the wrong habitat? :dunno: I have been walking alder bottoms and such.... any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Actually it's great just getting out, tough to find the big ones, they bury them I believe!! :chuckle: just keep looking and cover as much ground as possible, I love the thick reprod or open areas where they might bed or feed.
