However, there is a way that you can be part of the hunt without having to hunt!

So what is shed hunting, you might ask? Well, let me give you the low-down so you can get out there and try it for yourself! What? Shed hunting is just what it sounds like—hunting for sheds! Shed antlers, that is. Each year all male members of the deer family (deer, elk, etc.) naturally shed their antlers so that they can grow a new, larger, more impressive set of antlers. The antlers that the deer shed are simply left behind, waiting to be found! While an experienced hunter may want to hunt shed in order to learn more about the deer that he or she will be hunting down next season, the non-hunter variety can merely see this as a biological scavenger hunt. The antlers themselves senate for his first three years as a student and he didn't see things getting accomplished; he felt all they did was allocate money.
