    It's the start of march and I have been looking for sheds like crazy and haven't found a thing. Anybody have any tips on good places to look?

    A lot of the guys I know have been checking their food plots and known bedding areas

    Southern facing hills they get the most sun in the winter where deer will bed during the day to stay warm, creek beds, on both sides of deer trails that cross logs they would have to jump over, fence lines, bedding areas, if you have a lot of pine trees check under those deer tend to like those to get out the the snow, ridgelines. Go slow then go slower, overcast days are better than sunny days.

    mt10harm really hit the nail on the head. Shed hunting is one of the harder parts of scouting - some years I come up empty handed, even with trail cam photos of deer all over. Last year I had 7 sheds, year before that there was nothing. Move slowly, constantly scanning. Find the deer beds and you will find sheds if they are there.
