Hey Ryan, I don’t think it is too late at all. In fact now may be one of the best times to shed hunt. As the snow is melting you’ll be able to find many sheds that might have been buried before. Good luck and let us know how you do!

I just started shed hunting last week and I thinks its the greatest thing! I live in northern Massachuesetts and was wondering if I was to late in the season? Can any one help me with this?
Thanks!

Great tips Matt. Considering you found 17 sheds yesterday, we should all pay attention to your advice! haha

I think there are a few other things that can increase your success. Try and go on overcast days to get rid of the shadows in the Timber. This helps a great deal and you don’t get optic fatigue trying to find them in the timber. Also if it is sunny always, always, always put the sun at your back. The antlers will shine and you will be seeing a white shining antler and not a dark object that looks like a branch like you would looking into the sun. One last thing, Deer do not always winter where they are during the season so scouting will really pay off. I have a few spots that are awesome during the season and I have found very few sheds there over the years. Find the big groups and really work pastures that are connected with food. Later Guys, Matt

Ive been shed hunting in illinois for about 3 yrs heavily. Ive never found a shed while looking for them. I look in protected woods that cant be hunted. I see signs of big bucks but no matter how hard i try, no luck. I have seen footprints where other hunters may have beat me out there. What do you think I may be doing wrong? Great article by the way, not enough is talked about this very fun hobby. I also morel hunt but I am much better at that.

Bobby! It should be this around this time. Texas is warmer than most states so the horns are ready to come off.

I’m not sure about that one Bobby, but I’m looking into it right now…
