Very interested in hunting for sheds. How, When and where do we need to go. I just think that would be a very exciting adventure. I love the outdoors and so many people tell me you can do that.

I have just started hunting for shed antlers. I live in Northern Virginia and want to start. When is the best time to find the sheds and is there a good place to find them ie. around creeks, around old rub sites. Or do they just come off were the fall.

To the person asking about preferrable “shedding locations” – to my knowledge antlers are shed randomly based on hormonal changes causing the antlers to detach, however a buck’s pattern changes in the winter months, so if you have been seeing certain bucks regularly in the winter months…I’d start searching there- I have also discovered that I find either all large or all small sheds in close range of each other-rarely a mix, which leads me to question if large bucks and small bucks disperse their ranges in winter months??? So far in Wisconsin, I have found 5 sheds…including an 18 in. main beamed fork and a 60 in. four point!!!!

I know it is kind of cheating, but there is a set of sheds on ebay with about 4 days left from a 25 POINT buck. 1-04-08

Hi, I live in central Ohio and have found 4 sheds up until March 17th. On March 17th I found a pair of sheds that score in the 170’s. they have 27″ main beams. If spread was 22″, it would make them score in the 190’s. This is what makes all the walking worthwhile.

I live in southern Iowa. Have been shed hunting for about 1 month this year and have picked up 21 sheds and 3 skulls so far. I am still seeing about 20% of the bucks still holding.
By the way I would not mind selling some of my antlers. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I go about it?

Andy, This year I’ve found 19 and have 38 hours in ….. The first few years I put in 40 hours and only found a few…. As you get better at it you find better spots, know what looks good, where to look in the existing spots that you have & have a better eye for know what your looking for. Good luck!
