Just watched 2 four pointers walk past the house tonight at sunset, about the 150 class and one guy had dropped his left antler already. D.H.

Its hard to believe in that much time you have not found some. I usually find 20-30 without much effort. Some years three times that. Search where the deer spend most of their time.

Find a well used game trail and walk. If it's a real good game trail, and you know the bucks are using it, walk it a few times.

If your in open country spend some time glassing from the road. We spend hours behind the glass before we even set foot in an area to look for sheds. If its thick cover then get in bush for a short walk. If you see trails and droppings then walk the trails. Eventually they will lead to beds and feeding areas and those are where we find most our sheds.
