paulcarol+FollowMy secret spots that yielded 5 sheds last weekend!Just got back from a weekend of shed hunting and figured I’d share a few spots that always seem to deliver — but don’t get talked about much. Food plots and bedding areas are obvious, but if you want to start picking up more bone, try looking in these underrated places: 1️⃣ Regrown clear-cuts – Deer hammer woody browse in winter. Clear-cuts from a few years back are full of low vegetation and buds they love. 2️⃣ Swamp or marsh islands – Most folks won’t wade through water, but deer do. They bed on high ground in the middle where they feel safe. 3️⃣ Deadfall timber zones – Downed trees offer cover, block wind, and often grow browse-friendly plants. Great bedding = more chances for sheds. 4️⃣ Deep-woods pockets – Especially in high-pressure areas. If they’ve got food (like red oak acorns) and cover, expect sheds. 5️⃣ CRP/native grass fields – Warm, soft bedding. Grasses insulate well, which is why you’ll often find antlers buried in them. 6️⃣ Natural green sources – Greenbriar and other winter-staying plants are gold. Not every food source is in a field. 7️⃣ Wind-sheltered valleys – Deer conserve energy by staying out of the wind. Ridges and hollows shaped just right make cozy hideouts. 8️⃣ Sanctuary edges – Deer hang just outside of off-limits land. Walk the fence lines — they might drop right on your side. 9️⃣ Travel corridors – Shed along paths between food and bedding. Even brief stops can be enough to drop an antler. 🔟 Feeding stations (if legal) – Keep feeding past the season. Deer remember where to find food and return, often shedding nearby. Anyone else finding success in unusual spots this year? #hunting #shedhunting #deerhunting612Share

Eric Ford+FollowIs shed hunting worth it for new hunters? 🦌Thinking about trying shed hunting—do beginners actually learn much from it? Or is it mostly for fun and antlers? #hunting #shedhunting #huntinglife #huntingnewbie52Share
Manuel Bright+FollowWhy Shed Hunting Is More Than Antlers?Started shed hunting just for cool antlers, but it's become so much more! Here's why every hunter should try it: 1️⃣ Ultimate scouting - finding sheds shows you exactly where big bucks hang out and their travel patterns 2️⃣ Keeps you outdoors and fit during off-season, plus amazing bonding time with kids 3️⃣ You become a habitat detective - spotting food sources, wildlife signs, and even conservation issues Now I'm mapping bedding areas and feeding zones like a pro. Come hunting season, I already know where the giants are hiding! #shedhunting #deerscouting #OffseasonPrep 191Share
lolson+FollowFound my first shed! Here's what worked 🦌Spent months learning shed hunting and finally scored! Here's my game plan that actually works: 1️⃣ Hit feeding zones, bedding areas, and deer trails - mark these spots on your hunting app 2️⃣ Bring binoculars to scan wider areas without walking everywhere 3️⃣ Time it right - late winter to early spring when antlers are fresh, not chewed up Honestly, the best part isn't even finding sheds. It's learning deer behavior and connecting with nature. Makes me a way better hunter come season! #hunting #shedhunting #deer #OffSeasonPrep151Share
