I cannot find sheds on my property, I look for them in February but just can't find any sheds. I've no clue what I'm doing wrong I'm just walking and looking hard for something bone colored.
Check out this totally RAD article from the chumps here at BH.com. They know your pain. http://www.bowhunting.com/blog/post/2009/03/08/Shed-Antler-Hunting-heats-up-in-March!.aspx
This was my first year shed hunting and I had no luck either. I'll just try again next year. Oh and that article is a great read.
Yeah PA's antler restrictions and the change in the season I believe will make bigger and better deer.
In PA the key is to find a good winter food source, and it will most likely be on a south facing hill side where plenty of Sun reaches the ground. An un picked corn field can be a magnet drawing deer from afar.
just remember there are no sheds in illinois.............nope not a one......never seen one....around here.
[/quote]Hell, PA doesn't even have deer. [/quote] Exactly, well we do have deer just not a lot. I wish I was like the Siman boys and got film of deer all the time. Hell I don't even have a camera, but still.
Ill tell you what buddy, the best advice i can give is to get out there. We got lucky in years past to catch some deer here and there, but this year we are really putting some effort into it. 10-15 hours a week scouting, mostly from the roads or at a distance, just to not disturb the deer. My cuddebadck is my not so secret weapon though. It gets the job done. All it takes is legwork.
My guess is that you just suck. I would probably just quit pretending to be a hunter, and maybe start playing with Barbies. Like Caleb. Zing!
