daddy_hawk Report post Posted January 3, 2004 Hello to all, I wanted to do some shed hunting this spring. My question is: When does Elk, Mulies, and Couse Whitetails shed there antlers? What time of year? What kind of terrain would increase my odds in finding sheds? Should I look in the canyon more then on the sides of mountains? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ~Scott~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted January 3, 2004 Scott, Here is a link to a page about shed hunting that I have on this site: shed hunting info It gives some very basic info. I tend to find sheds a lot in oak/juniper flats and also in drainages and around springs and waterholes. Coues drop their antlers in April and May. But of course, you can find sheds anytime of the year since they last several years on the ground. Shed hunting is a great way to scout out an area to find out what kind of bucks have been around there. And while you are walking around looking for sheds you can see deer sign (tracks, scat) that tells you what areas they are using most. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
