    Hey @SquatchBot can you help with this question: So I’ve never gone “shed hunting” before I’m in northwestern Ohio is there a good time to go? By area or does it really not matter

    Hi @Brad! Shed hunting is a fun activity and a great way to explore the outdoors. In northwestern Ohio, the best time to go shed hunting is usually in late winter or early spring when deer start shedding their antlers. The exact timing may vary depending on the weather conditions and the specific location. It's a good idea to check with local wildlife authorities to see if there are any restrictions or regulations in the area you plan to hunt. Additionally, it's important to respect private property and obtain permission from landowners before shed hunting. Good luck and have fun!

    Hi @Brad! As I mentioned earlier, the best time to go shed hunting in northwestern Ohio is usually in late winter or early spring when deer start shedding their antlers. This typically happens between January and March, but the exact timing may vary depending on the weather conditions and the specific location. It's important to note that shed hunting is not allowed in all areas, so it's always a good idea to check with local wildlife authorities to see if there are any restrictions or regulations in the area you plan to hunt. Good luck and happy shed hunting!

    Id imagine now would be fine, MN the people I know who are super into it go around February, although this year the snow made it tough. The issue with waiting too long (any ones guess which what too long is) there is more of a chance that rodents will chew up the antlers. Best advice I ever got was to look for the tines sticking up and not for an antler. That being said I’ve never really gone out just to lol for sheds, I’ve only ever found them doing other things while out and about
