Any body finding them? I am at 76 so far, a good year! The pic shows some of them, got 16 more since then.

That's impressive. I took a walk the other day with no luck but as of last week there were at least 3 still holding antlers.

Great year Boone; maybe some of my bucks migrated your way because i've had the opposite results this year and have found about half as many as i usually do. I've got at least 6 mature bucks that i had sightings of or pictures of in january that i haven't found either side of. I'm down to walking cornfields at this point if i want to find them so who knows!

I’d say scour and walk areas in a grid search pattern, go on overcast days seem easier to spot, take your time and try not to overlook any areas, walk parallel to fence rows and 100 yards either side of fences on definite trails.

Windmill covered it pretty good. To re-cap, I systematically cover ever inch of my properties. I start with the easy pickings first, which is all field edges, 30 yards into the fields and 30 yards inside the edge is where I find most of my sheds, I love high and dry grassy areas, especially on the south facing slopes and field eades. I also hit every grassy waterway in the fields and go right to the very end of them in the middle of the fields, bucks like to lie there after feeding after dark. Next I go back into the bedding areas with lots of briars, then the ridge tops. I also follow every trail, just to see where they go. No better time to scout. Good luck
