Where to look
 

I'm planning on doing some hiking up in the mountains outside of town and figure I may as well look around for some sheds but I don't really know where to start. I know I can't just go stomping through the woods hoping to find some. Is there anything in particular I need to look for? Do they fall off naturally or do the deer smack them on a tree? I don't mind if you laugh at my questions as long as you have a little advice for a transplanted city boy. Thanks.

Tater, look for them in the same places that you hunt them, along field/cover edges, feeding ares, along fence lines..

I haven't found many myself, jsut mostly been lucky... But the ones I have found have been found everywhere deer go.

I'll definitely keep my eyes open. Thanks.

they are still dropping now in most places and are just beginning in others. find the deer=food=beding areas. check these spots ad the trails inbetween. just like hunting but the opposit. you do want to go trompsing around in their bedding area!

finding sheds
 

i am a shed hunting king. go were you know were the elk or deer are and look around. i find them all over the place. fence lines,trails,open fields,buy trees,east facing slopes. also find a good hill and walk it, walk the hill verticaly,then walk up 10-20 feet up and do the same all the way up the hill. i hope this helps you out. thay have not started to shed in new mexico yet. i give it another mounth,then i am going to hike every day.
