After the antlers detach from the deers head and hit the ground, is the best time to start shed hunting. Best technique, open eyes. I am totally kidding, couldn't resist. Sorry.

Brian27 Report post Posted February 22, 2012 I plan on my first outing in a couple of weeks. if they havent dropped maybe i will find some still being carried around and get a few pictures with my canon. sooner or later you will see fresh sheds or a bull with one horn and then you will know its time to get serious.
