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.

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'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

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...

find 2 trees with a width 2-3 feet around them and wrap chicken wire around them tight. in the middle pour corn in between the chicken wire and the sheds will get stuck in the chicken wire and fall off while they are eating corn (or whatever attractent is liked in your area) and you wont even have to hunt for them. just drink beer instead
