Deer shed their antlers every year. I've lived in the country and hunted all my life. In over 50 years, I've only found one antler.
#19. Have you tried wearing glasses?
Many years ago when our pet pig died, I dragged it out in the woods with the tractor. 2 weeks later the only trace of that hog was some hair. Carrion doesn’t stay around long in the woods.
I’ll find 50 to 60 sheds a year. If your not finding sheds in deer country it’s because you’re not looking for them. I’ve found elk sheds in Colorado, NM and Wyoming, found moose sheds in Manitoba and Ontario. I’ve found several hundred flint arrowheads and blades while some people never find one. Difference is I look for them. Some people are not very observant, as Gus McCray says “He ain’t much of a noticer”.
