Hey birdhunter,

Bedding areas. I think that's the key. Need to find good bedding areas. And by the way, you never did show me that magazine rack.

 Fencelines are a good place as well. I find them a lot here at the edge of my pastures. I assume they rub on the fence posts to knock them off, never witnessed it though. Every time I spot one it's at the base of a post.

Fencelines and other such obstacles are indeed another good area to look. I always figured it was due to the fact that the shock of landing when they jump over. Rattles off a slightly loose horn. But perhaps your theory is likely also.

Boy, would I love to shed hunt on some flat, ag ground! Ive seen some beauties at my outfitter's in Pike Co Ill.! Here in NY Adirondacks, though, it is pretty tough. I have only found a few, and have put miles on my feet for them. They are all pretty chewed by rodents when I do get them, though. That said, finding them is almost as exciting as hunting the deer! I will keep plugging away, and I always take my light shot-gun for the grouse. 

I like to look at bedding and feeding areas, and ususally follow big tracks, and look for sheds. It's tough, but rewarding.
