Hey guys, I know there's got to be some expert shed hunters on here so I'm looking for some tips.
I've found a handful incidentally while scouting/hiking/hunting but I want to be more consistent.
So I'm trying to plan on making a couple dedicated weekend trips this spring.
I'm mostly just interested in learning my hunting areas better but I would like to find a few more antlers in the process.
Right now I'm thinking lower elevations, the edges of the sage, south slopes and things like that.
What I'm curious about are things like:
When is the earliest it's worth going to look?
Do you typically find elk and deer sheds in the same areas or do they seem to be separate?
Should I spend time looking in the timber?
I can't think of any other questions at the moment but I would appreciate any general tips.
Thanks!
