Title: When to start??
Post by: Tbob on January 12, 2019, 11:42:33 AM: So when do y’all start looking for deer sheds? I’ve got the last weekend of this month free and was wondering if that would be to early to get out and look for mulie sheds?

Post by: Tbob on January 20, 2019, 12:09:09 PM: So what about the snow? I was going to go out the other day for a little look, but I wasnt sure about the snow? Is there snow where you guys are looking for mulie sheds right now?

Post by: rl206 on January 20, 2019, 01:59:21 PM: Mulies are a little tough. They are hard to pattern I'd start by looking for them. Snow makes it tougher to find the older drops but the new drops will stick out if they drop in the snow
