As the weather gets warmer, and the snow melts, an excellent family activity is hunting for shed antlers. Deer, elk and moose shed their antlers every winter, usually between November and March.
Shed antler hunting is one of the fastest growing outdoors activities, and a way to extend your time in the field, and a way to bond with family, young kids especially. The antlers typically carry a large amount of character as no two antlers are ever the exact same.
One challenge to shed hunting is trying to find a matched set. As deer don’t always shed the two antlers at the same time, often the antlers can be miles apart. If you can hunt on a feed ground, it is easier to find a matching set of sheds than when you are hunting in the hills or on the mountain.
