Jmo1685 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hey everyone, Has anyone gone out or is going out shed hunting this year? Me and the girfriend are going out tomorrow up the Humber River corridor up by our place in Brampton. Hoping to find some this year. We have a few spots we are really confident that we should be able to find some. Just wondering if you guys have any tips or anything specific to look for in regards to where sheds could be? We're going to be checking all the stream crossings, places where we know there is lots of food (AKA, where we planted trees and shrubs for work this fall) as well as places with lots of conifer trees they may have used for shelter this winter.If you guys have any other ideas, I'd love to hear em. Thanks, Jake Mokrynski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Got to keep a sharp eye out JMO (just my opinion) . They can be hard to spot in the bush among branches on the ground . I like to walk slowly in a zig zag manner and cover a 100' swath through the bush . When I hunted for moose near Elliot Lake we found the odd deer & moose shed ....lots of deer as well as moose in that area . Happy shedding .

We have a map of the area and have made blocks out of areas we think we will find some. Will for sure be doing the zig zag idea that you have suggested !

Row dog Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Bedding areas are a good spot to look although you kinda have to distinguish between buck and doe beds always good to use a dog. My little gsp and I found a few along Bruce trail last year. Going out today Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmo1685 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Well, we put in a lot of time and effort, but alas, no sheds for us. We found promising signs in one paticular area. There was scat, lots of tracks, rubs, some browsed plants and shrubs too. We really took our time at this spot but we came out empty handed. Was a beautiful day to spend walking around ! Goodluck to all those going out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner-2 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Well it was a good try getting out there is the first step and the next thing is to hope that there was any bucks in the area at the time of shedding the weather don't look to good this week but hopping to get out this week and try again just keep trying Jmo1685 it will happen sooner or later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I Was just out on a hike right now looking for sheds. Was walking down a trail through some thick brush and kicked up a deer. I couldnt believe it was a 6pt buck still holding its rack. No wonder I havent seen any sheds around. Maybe this crazy winter has something to do with it?
