Bedding areas. Trails to and from food sources.

Fence and ditch crossings. ^this and anywhere else they're forced to jump. |

Anywhere you've seen them herded up this winter while feeding in fields. I find most of mine in winter wheat fields right after the snow melts.

Best place to look for them is right in the same area they fall off their heads .......
lol ....
Im horrible at finding sheds. I have found two sheds in my life. One was an elk shed in colorado and the other I found on my new farm this year looking for a wounded deer (it was last years shed).

I find probably 75% of mine in bedding areas. Also trails to and from food to bedding areas

Found another small shed this evening.
I can't seem to find any ryme or reason to where is the best place to find them.
It takes a lot of walking and looking around in areas where bucks spend their time, this time of year.
Look at it this way. It's hard enough seeing an antler when it's attached to a 200# deer and walking around. The difficulty is compounded greatly when it's no longer attached to the deer, laying on the ground somewhere.

I've found them in the woods laying against bases of trees, Beds, Waterways, fencelines, briar thickets, cornfields, beanfields, ditches on the side of the road, power line clearings etc......etc.......etc....The buck has zero control of where his shed falls off, therefore anywhere that deer walks in a given day a shed could be laying....best way to find them is get out and walk, walk and walk some more , grid searching an area until you're sure if a shed is there you'd of found it, then move on and grid search another square, and repeat until you get tired...I spent 13hrs. walking last weekend looking for sheds....found two.
