I find mine the same way and average one probably ever other year while scouting in spring. Never really found one on purpose because I'm scouting not shed hunting. Probably walk right past them all the time.

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Welcome bonecollector 100 sheds is awesome. I do a lot of glassing figuring out where the deer are wintering and to spot bucks still carrying and half racks. As said already, learn where the deer are bunched up for the winter. Also, ask permission to shed hunt land that is not yours. Don't overlook public land.

Central maine ..and i get about 20- 30 deer sheds on average .and usually 50- 100 moose sheds .should have specified sorry 100 deer sheds in maine would be unreal ! The deer popultion in maine is worse than ive ever seen right now after the last two winters .

I'll be building a shed trap this year to put corn in. Even if you only get a few sheds in the trap they are a few sheds you didn't have to walk for. I'll put it in areas the target deer frequent.
