Being new at this... what kind of time frame is there usually until the critters get to the sheds? I'm sure there's lots of variables, but just a ball park answer could do.

I will be walking all day tomorrow. Can't wait to see whats out there. There are definitely some bones on the ground. The squirrels get to them quick sometimes within a day or so.

who are you answering to "flat"? I did see that post. but i guess i'm still missing your point. Thanks CTT... I appreciate your answer. A couple of days before the critters get them? I better get out there soon.

I'm still stuck with my same old luck - lots of cool bones but nary an antler....Matt - I've found this right about now is when they start dropping - unlike some of our better shed hunters..I seem to find mine a little later in when things start greening up - and usually they have a little rodent damage...I just can't see the darn things like others here can. Truthfully I keep my eyes open for them year round...and stumble upon them year round..
