Never heard of anyone getting 100 but what do you do with 100?
I usually do it once or twice each season and I am happy with 2

i was wondering the same thing.

Th that was my question i see walk your hunting property to see whats there but what do you do with 20 to 30 a year .my dog would be really  happy.

OK, so I don't always focus on shed hunting, sometimes I do, sometimes I focus on walking the dog.  Always on public land but some areas where we see a fair amount of deer.

40+ years of walks, never found one!

im just curious about shed hunting. i get that your scouting for what made it through the season. but what do you guys do with all these sheds? i would assume after years of shed hunting and if your good at it you would have a lot of antlers. im not trying to start anything im honestly curious. 

i found a couple over the years walking in the woods and i picked them up thinking they would make a good knife handle. they are still collecting dust in my shed. i cant imagine having over a hundred.

Unless you are walking where you dont belong, you are not finding lots of sheds. It takes miles of walking and our hunting properties are not that big. 

14 on public is great. Between my wife and I we found 5 so far between us this year so far on our property. 

I like to find them but I dont feel like walking miles to find them. 

I have 3 bucks holding that I would like to find, one walked thru the yard last night with only one side. 

Im going to have a few hours to walk my farm in Illinois this weekend. Looking forward to that

I thought the farmer killed them all

Are there spots that tend to produce sheds year after year or is it More random?

I’ve never found one not even by accident in all my years in the woods. 

I find them in the same spots every year usually. And as I look more each year I find new honey holes as well.

OK that's my excuse for sucking at shed hunting for years!

I find the best thing to do is let them go so they can grow. Then when they shed they are bigger. And easier to find. Or something like that 

[hemlock]

Some people are just good at finding them. They know where to look and how to spot them and put serious miles in.  Me I only find one to a few each year. But I don't put the miles in like the guys I know finding over 20 a year. They really do some hiking for their prize.
