Here’s to the hunters of shed antlers … but I have to admit I’m not much of one myself.
I’ve tried. I really have, but this is just one form of hunting that I can’t find a passion for. It could be because the best shed hunting season falls at the same time as spring snow goose and turkey hunting is going on. However, that’s a lame excuse because I know a lot of folks who chase those birds and still have fire in the belly for seeking out those discarded headsets of whiteails, mulies, elk and even moose.
Friend and co-host of North American Hunter–TV, Mark Kayser has tried to kindle in me the fire for shed hunting. Several years ago, we set up a camp not far from the Missouri River in south central South Dakota. Mark brought his horses and we spent a couple days riding and searching for sheds. Mark’s method makes it a lot like spot and stalk hunting of big game.
