Shed hunting

People have long gathered antlers in the spring, but shed hunting has grown very popular in recent years. I believe the increased interest can be attributed to the quality deer management movement -- through which landowners are taking greater interest in managing their lands and studying deer on their property -- and the craft and cabin décor industry. Artisans routinely make antler knife handles, cribbage boards, lamps, fireplace tool handles and an endless array of other antler crafts and decorations like buttons, drawer pulls and door handles.
