They say fence crossings are good places to look too. When they land, the sudden jolt can knock them off once they are loose.
They also say when you find one look closely for the other. They often fall off one right after the other.
I don't know who "they" is though...

Put up some W shaped lengths of hog wire in food plots.

Really?? Is this to get them to jump over, or hopefully brush against while feeding?

Plot a grid path before you start so you don't cover the same area twice. Use binoculars as you walk through the woods to cover more area with less walking.

Where are you located? I've never had any luck in lousiana or mississippi. Texas I find them all the time with minimal effort.

I think this is a great idea, but the deer almost quit coming to corn altogether this time of year on our place. Protein and mineral licks would do the trick I bet...

I've heard of folks getting an old mattress and burning it, so you just have the stings left. Set the springs out and pour corn over it. Buck eats corn, antlers get in springs and fall off

I've only just found them randomly dispersed throughout the woods

Poplarville mississippi. Found a 10 pt shed In early december on a tree line. Was all gnawed away by squirels or rats. Thats what has sparked my interest in finding some this year

I honestly have never found a single one...I can't imagine how looking for them would be productive enough to be worth the time...

I've only found one and it was a pure miracle that I even saw it. Good thing I did see it. One of the tines was sticking out of the ground about 4 inches. Saw that white tine right before the right rear tractor tire was about to run over it while bushhoggin. Solid 4 point tine that was bleached white with no rodent marks. Have no idea how long it was partially buried there. Rear tractor tires ain't cheap.

The problem with shed traps is that if the deer isn't ready to drop the antlers, you could cause an injury when he gets stuck and damage the rack for next year.

I just moved out to Utah and the antler business is a big deal.
Big elk sheds are big money.
The big timers have labs that are trained to find only sheds......

But in Louisiana. I've only found them by chance.
