Almy, Gerald A.

Abstract:

Almy discusses shed hunting. Sheds are the antlers that a deer loses, usually in mid- to late January. Another set of antlers will be grown by the fall. Hunting sheds give hunters an idea of where deer travel on game lands and the age of the deer. Shed hunting has become so popular that guided, weeklong shed hunts in prime deer areas, including food and lodging included, can cost as much as $3,000. Fortunately, it is free on game lands and the hunter's own hunting area.
