Hunting sheds, it’s a lot more than just fun

With deer season over, now is the time to begin preparation for the next season. It’s also the time of year deer begin the process of shedding the beloved trophies highly sought after. March is about when things begin to start happening. Hormone changes within the body, weather turning warmer and a number of other factors kick things off for bucks to shed their antlers.

Without getting into the biological reasons why bucks shed their antlers, I will provide some insight into the value of spending a little time in the woods hunting for these hardened clues.

While hunting sheds is fun and physically beneficial, finding sheds provides a lot of information for the wildlife manager. Walking the trails, fence lines and near feeders or around watering holes are good places to spend some time in search of sheds, but spend sometime in the least obvious places such as deep in the hard woods and/or around a creek. Finding sheds in these locations is where you begin to gain a deeper insight into movement, feeding and bedding habits. To read more pick up the February 2016 issue of NTFR.
