When do people usually go looking for sheds? I would love to take my 2 older kids with me and get some exercise and hopefully find some sheds.
 
Sheds can be found at anytime, but the "season" for shed hunting is early spring. Males have just cast their antlers and the weather is warming allowing spotting of antlers more easily. Those not found are subject to little nibblers degrading the antler and weather wet, freeze, thaw, heat etc.

Some states close areas from shed hunters to prevent late winter/early spring stress on the animals when they are at their most vulnerable health status. Check your state regs.
