This, be my first year hunting for sheds, and now that the six feet of snow we had is gone. I don't know where I should look for sheds. And I own 86+ acres of land with at least 5 big bucks, and 2 small bucks on our land. Now I found some rubs all made within the past month or so, in a certain area. I've found fresh droppings, and I've only covered maybe 20 acres in the past two weeks. I've had no luck, and I'm not quite sure where they might be, what areas I should focus on, and I know that there are quite a few experienced hunters out there. So any and all information would be really appreciated.
P.S. Is it common for a buck not to loose their antlers even after winter is come and gone? 'Cause that's when they've usually shed them, that I've known of.
