Watch out!
Don’t forget to look up occasionally.
Bucks will sometimes rub their loose
antlers on trees and brush to try
and help get them off their heads.
This means they could be hung up
in branches of small trees or have
fallen into the middle of bushes as
well. Not paying attention to these
things would be a mistake.

Now is a great time to try and gain
access and scout new property.
If you aren’t finding sheds on the
property you typically hunt, knock
on some doors or check out new
tracts of BLM land. Without having
to worry about bumping animals
you’re trying to hunt, late winter and
early spring shed hunting is a great
opportunity to test the waters on
new areas. Finding antlers on new
or unfamiliar property is always a
treat as it helps to form next fall’s
game plan.
Have fun!
This is probably the most important
thing of all. Do your best to have fun
while looking for antlers. The more
fun you have, the longer you’ll stay
in the field and the more likely you
are to keep getting back out there.
