If you are ever in MN CS, you will have to give us a tutorial on how to find sheds. Shed hunting in Minnesota means you are looking for storage space! Helps to have antlers on the ground! I have a lot of tricks for myself; hunt on cloudy days, hunt in the rain, hunt before sunup (I do not like shadows), take an antler and throw it (I find antlers while looking for the one I threw), etc. BUT... it all boils down to having something on the ground to find.

I keep saying; "this is the last one I'll find this season...."

We r at zero. Again. Walked a 200 acre farm by our house where Brandon is gonna bow hunt turkeys. I swear antlers in mn just melt into the earth. None at our farm. None on the farm next to my parents house. Goose egg again.

I was wrong yesterday, found one more today. 5 miles of pasture running brought another home. For sure the last one this yr.

Had a few minutes so I went for a walk in the rain. I've looked at night with a flashlight. I run random pasture trails every chance I get. I get up early on days that we have basketball tournaments so that I can be done looking by 7:00am. Etc. I am blessed to have antlers around that make it worth looking, but I do spent quite some time on my feet finding them. With that said I do think you should take up running!

I do a lot of walking so I guess I need to find a place to start walking that I could possibly find some. I did try a few spots this spring but no luck.

I suspect our wetter climate with lots of vegetation hides more antlers and that we also have more rodents to chew them up.
Also, I have never found a shed from the buck I killed the previous fall! Yup, more are shot in our areas than in Cats.
