Hey Guys,
Loving the Fathers Day competition but where are all the Antlers?
Is there a secret to finding Antlers or do you just run around & look?
Elk & Whitetail Antlers must be still on the deers heads as I can't find any anywhere on the ground.
Can anyone help please?

These two have also been, my last. I chose Whitehart to combine it with coyote hunting. It was really hard especially because in the morning in my daily mission both of them were lying just next to tower 12. Once the mission was started al I found were blacktail antlers (4 sets) and a lot if mushrooms.
I would recommend to set the optical settings to minimum and run along the roads, spending special attention to the clearings

BTW, once I had the WT-antler, I found 2 more.

So you found them on the roads or next to Tower 12?
I have been running the roads on Whitehart for 3 hours with no success.
Also tried all of the towers & surroundings. :x

In the morning both were on the clearing next to the tower. During the mission I came three times to that spot. All I found was a set of BT-antlers. In the end I found the 1st WT- antlers in the northwest of the southern island and the elk-antler west of tower 6. But I don't think there are preferred places to find them.
After having found all the BT, I was close to switching to Settler Creeks, as there is only WT and Elk to find. No idea if that will increase the amount of antlers. But running one cycle might be a chance.

Antlers appear completely random. Best chances are to take a car and drive along open areas such as roads or shores. It's fun.

There's usually plenty of antlers around. Everyone who was hunting on WRR for example had certainly found at least several every hunt. That's because they are very easy to spot on white snow obviously. Other reserves had same amount of antlers, but it's much harder to spot them. So trick is to roam places where it's easier to do so.

How others have already said, low complexity helps to see them from far away. For Fallow deer, I just run on the fields where it's easier to see them on flat surface. For Elk and Whitetail I just walk (or run) along the river in RFF and look on other bank of it. It shouldn't take very much time that way.
