core2 Report post Posted January 29, 2018 I am thinking they will drop up high this season due to the general lack of snow pretty much everywhere in the west. Last season they definitely dropped lower than past years. Snow line seems to have a big impact on where the sheds fall in the area I hunt. What do you guys think for your area? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apache7mm Report post Posted January 29, 2018 My strategy is to get in shape 2 days before the season opens and then head to a spot where several ppl have already been looking since January and haul out their trash DAN 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJMauro12 Report post Posted February 5, 2018 Ive always watched for sheds but never intentionally hunted them hard until last year. I found 20+ sheds last year, the best Ive ever done in a year. Im pretty excited to get out this year and I set up some cameras in December hoping it could help. Has anyone benefitted from using cameras for sheds? I know they arent going to drop in front of my cameras but I figured it could give me an idea of how many antlers I should be looking for in a certain area and maybe even when they dropped if the bulls are showing up on camera often enough. Either way i am excited to check to check some winter pictures. Ive never left any cameras out December-March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThomC Report post Posted February 13, 2018 Get one of those new lazer shed finders. Can locate a small spike up to 800 yds. with a little practice. You have to hold real steady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
