Antler Shed Hunting Tips
Spring is just around the corner here in the northeast, and as the snow dwindles down, it is time to go hunting. For antler sheds that is. Here is just a small sample that I pulled from a Google search.

Here in the northeast hunting for antler sheds can be quite a task. Snow plays a big factor in finding sheds. However, as the snow recedes in the spring, antlers begin to show up, in around deer yards. The deer tend to yard together in areas as deep snow arrives. Often times it isn't uncommon to see herds of 2 or 300 in an area.
Talk to your local deer biologist in your area, and you may be able to find a bunch of sheds to start in this hobby. As you can see it can be very profitable. Antler Shed Hunting Tips
Sheds can be made into lamps as well. Some local crafters also create knives, and use the antlers as knife handles. Your imagination can lead to some really beautiful creations, that can command a pretty high price.
If your not the type that likes to search for antlers, you can always put an ad in your local paper and offer to buy antler sheds from those that enjoy searching for them. If you live in a cold climate and get snow, the best time to search for sheds is coming rite up shortly. Mice and squirrels tend to chew up the sheds if they aren't retrieved beforehand.
Also as the snow recedes and you can get around pretty good, even without snowshoes. If you search before the snow is completely gone you can find the deer tracks and the sheds quite easily.
As the weather warms up it is a great way to get a little exercise and enjoy the great outdoors.
Don't forget to take along a camera. Antler Shed Hunting Tips
