It'd be nice to walk our farm and actually find sheds rather than finding evidence that the place has already been picked clean by trespassers. We get the same experience during mushroom season.

First week in April is when I have found some in my area. Tons of competition so you have to be dedicated.
I been out to my spot a week or so ago but farmer just did a burn off. If there was anything it's toast now. Screwed me last year as well by Bush hogging everything. Flipping over to hand loading and fishing.
No antlers on the five or so deer I did see while out.
The controlled burns don't burn the antlers as bad as you would think. We collected hundreds of sheds on Camp Atterbury after the controlled burns and the uncontrolled ones.
Have you considered signage along the lines of "Achtung Minen!"?
I`ve only found one shed, ever. It was just a little spike, and I was out specifically looking for sheds. I went out and looked yesterday in Putnam County, and found nothing. I know guys who have found sheds, and really nice ones, and to me, they`re as much a trophy as a deer.

Good for you, that sounds like a wise way to handle the intrusion. I do a lot of scouting and hunting on public land. Quite often I stray off public land when I am in a new area. I make it a point to correct my navigation so I dont actually hunt on others property. Mostly my errors occur with poor property lines, as I usually do a lot of planning before the hike. Creeks present a real problem, as they are hard to fence across, and wash out too. Hope your trespasser learns a little respect.
Here is a shed I found in Putnam county. Looks like the critters took their piece of the prize.
