The lenses probably have a red/orange/purple color to enhance contrast. Same as shooting glasses that help you pick out a clay target from the background.

 

I’ve seen those shed hunting glasses pop up too, and while they look like they might be a helpful tool, there doesn’t seem to be a ton of real-world proof of them being game-changers. From what I gather, they claim to help enhance contrast and make antlers stand out against the background, but whether they actually work like they say is still up in the air. Personally, I still stick with the old-fashioned method—walking and scanning—especially since I’m not sure if the glasses would make that much of a difference for me. However, if you want to try them out, it could be worth experimenting! Would love to hear if anyone else has used them with success.

 

I've heard that they work great when looking for mushrooms but id love to try them for sheds

 

The best days to horn hunt or mushroom hunt are overcast days. I presume thats what the glasses do?

100% overcast and even a little bit wet, especially the mushrooms. Seems the lighter colors in morels really "pop" once they start absorbing some surface moisture.

 

They do not work....period!

 

I’ve seen those shed hunting glasses pop up too! A lot of people swear by them, claiming they help spot sheds more easily due to the special lenses that highlight antler contrast. But honestly, there’s not much solid proof beyond the marketing. Some folks just stick to the old-fashioned method—walking and scanning. If you're looking for something that might help, I’d recommend trying a pair of high-quality polarized sunglasses first. They can help cut glare and improve visibility without relying on fancy lenses.
