How to Blacktail shed hunt

[p_m_clean]

I grew up on Whidbey island in the woods. Spent countless hours exploring and running around and never once stumbled across a blacktail shed.

This is all before I got into hunting and before I knew what a deer rub or scrape look like. Now I always keep my eye out for sheds when ever I am in the woods, but haven't really gone shed hunting.

I have a few blacktails on cam from last season and would love to find a shed from one of them. Are there any tips or tricks or is it more about luck and time spent? I know you want to look in areas the deer frequent, look around the bases of trees with rubs, etc.

Any other advice?

Come home wet and bloody enough times and it will pay off

I am somewhat lucky in this area.  I look down at lot!

The pictures above from Lewy are exactly the type of areas where I find sheds.

To be honest, whenever I am walking in the woods, I am looking for sheds.  Always.  Then you will find some.
