Fish, Hunt & Ride – Spring 2016 | Page 11

Williams’ commemorative 100 year series A new Williams Classic Fencelines are great spots. Jumps lead to sheds. Old fence lines droop, and deer easily jump over. Ditch and creek crossings mean deer leap and land heavily, losing a rack on impact. Thickets and heavy brush joggle and pull on racks, speeding up shedding. I’ve found some of my biggest sheds in nasty thickets. MILES FOR PILES Even the best shed hunters know shedhunting means a lot of legwork. But as you start to work an area, surroundings become more familiar, and after a while and you get a feel on how the deer are moving. I “grid search” to cover as much ground as possible. Hiking apps can be used to plan or track your current route. Looking for the small not the mega shed, and staying super-focused will put racks in your pack. I can’t think of how many antlers I’ve almost walked past, but just happened to look down to find one right beside my boot. Give shed hunting a try this spring and enjoy the thrill without the kill.
