One tip I use every year is to carry a small shed with me that fits in my pack. On slow days I like to toss the antler out in front or off to the side and train my eye to spot it.
That’s a great tip! I do that all the time too
I do that with mushrooms in the spring with my kids! Great tip! Gets you back into focus!
I agree with not getting discouraged being the most important. No matter how hopeless you feel you cant give up, youll find one eventually you just have to keep at it.
Totally agree!
I look constantly never found any till last year I ended up breaking the losing streak finding 3
Dude, it’s awesome how you found multiple identical sets of antlers in different spots!
Thanks!
This will be my 3rd year looking and yet to find one. I hope at least I find one this year😂
You’ll start finding em. Good luck!
Walk slow man I realized i was walking to fast take ur time and observe.
Good luck, best advice I can give is dont give up. Itll happen, just keep at it.
Found my first one yesterday it was a decent side to a 10 point
Gotta try new spots man
Great tips-Ive been shed hunting for many years and agree with every single one of those. That’s real world shed hunting knowledge.

Walk slow , look snall. Walk , walk walk. And he's absolutly right cloudy or overcast days are best barring that. Ive got another tip for full sun hunting. Keep the sun to your back on those sunny days. Good luck. Get ya some !!
Was out looking for my girlfriends cat earlier today and came across a shed, was excited cause I’ve never found one, picked it up turned around, low and behold there was the other one, nice 9 point shed sitting a couple feet apart out in the open, couldn’t believe it. Got an itch to find more now lol
Haha that’s pretty cool!!
Awesome video
Thank you!
Went out yesterday, going again today, maybe I’ll spot one. I want a set so I can rattle this coming season
I have found 3 sheds (two smaller legal sized antlers and the third is a massive old 5 points on one side) and the biggest one was found in the rain because I walked right by it 3 times before but the wetness changed the leaves texture and I was able to see it from 20 feet away like how did I miss that but it’s cause the rain
I live in ME and this is going my first time sheding eny tips I do cloudy ⛅ days
Walk alot and find where they winter
I just started shed hunting yesterday so I'm tryna get some tips
Good luck!
I have 100 acres of heavy forest, swap and a large stream/river runs near our house in Stow, MASSACHUSETTS. We see mostly does and a few bucks, ALL year round. The deer lick the salt lick and I find droppings and bedding areas. What time of year do they start to drop their antlers? Thank you.
Hey, thanks for watching! That's super cool! I'd say bucks are typically dropping their antlers anywhere from late December through until about April. By April, in most cases, over 90% of bucks will have shed their antlers.
I've been shed hunting Massachusetts and Connecticut for 30 years. Things have changed in the deer woods from when I first started. I live in CT and depending on the deer health and food sources impacts how long the deer hold their horns. I've found sheds in January but its usually because the buck ran himself ragged and he is in survival mode. I've seen bucks holding their horns in April. So anytime between January to April. But don't go to soon and blow your deer ...be patient and use trail cams.
Last year I took my time and I even spotted a broken off antler base that was 2 inches long
That's awesome!
Is it better to look while snow is still laying as to be able to follow the deer trails easier??
There can be a lot of benefits to walking with some snow on the ground. In my opinion, the absolute best conditions are with enough snow so you can see where deer have been spending time, but an amount where most sheds won’t be covered up
Any tips on when to start looking, I live in Missouri
All depends if there’s other shed hunting pressure. If there’s no other pressure, I wouldn’t walk heavily until late February/early March. If there’s others walking the ground you are, then I’d start much earlier. Right about now
New to this so probably a dumb question. Is there a window where you need to look? As in is there a point where rodents will carry them away or something that prevents you from finding them?
It all depends on your situation. If you have areas you can walk where you know no one else is walking I’d wait until about mid March. Most bucks should have dropped by then. You could have some antlers that have been chewed up but you should be fine.
Found my first shed today
Awesome!!
I have a question???? I have spot i find sheds every year when the deer yard up…. But if its a lite winter and the deer dont yard up…. Do u have any tips for then… or is it the same but just spread outmore
Yeah the deer will definitely stay more spread out which in turn will make shed hunting a bit more difficult. Just will have to walk more and cover more ground!
Wow! Insane Intro!
Thanks!
Were i go shed hunting you cant go in the rain the dirt up there you get any moisture it turns to gumbo and takes days ti weeks to dry out and everyone know if its raing you get out or you dont go youll get stuck and be stuck for days or weeks there was one guy i know who didn't get out in ti.e and was stuck for 20 days before he could get out and you here stories of people being stuck pretty comon for a week cause an unexpected storm cimes jn and they arent able to get out in time and get stuck... went today didn't find any seems when i go shed hunting i never find sheds but when im archery hunting some how seem to find all sorts of sheds idk its weird and idk how but just how it goes i never find what im specifically going after ill find everything else though when im not looking for it specifically
i shed hunt on my snowmobile and i always mistake corn leafs for sheds it sucks
I hate when that happens too! Shed hunting in corn fields can be tough, regardless.
Great tips kid. What part of Minnesota?
Thanks! I’m in northern Minnesota
I see alot of bucks walk on my proparty so I will dedinently use these tips
Awesome, good luck!
@@alexcomstock4354 thanks!
Is it too soon in January to look?
It all depends if bucks have dropped antlers or not. But short answer is no it’s not, I start looking in January most years!
I’m 18 it’s my first year Seriosuly shed hunting in wisconsin, I’ve walked over 20 miles slowly in good bedding and food source areas on deer trails. Haven’t found one yet.. is shed hunting really supposed to be this hard. It’s almost impossible to not be discouraged
I know exactly how you feel. It can be really tough! If you’re not walking ground that is the best of the best it can be a lot of miles in between antlers. I’ve had years I averaged a shed per 10 miles. Just keep grinding away!
Where in MN are you, I’m in the cities but hunt up northern MN.
I’m up in northern MN
🦌💯
