(Missourinet) – While Missouri’s deer season has come to an end, area residents still have an opportunity to take part in a postseason tradition, called “shed hunting.” Shelby County Conservation Agent Kevin Lockard explains the process:
Lockard adds there are particular places you can find these shed antlers:
Shed season also provides a great opportunity to introduce kids to the outdoors. And it allows hunters the chance to explore new potential hunting grounds. Lockard adds the shed antlers also provide some good uses:
No permit is required for shed hunting. Those who partake in this activity are encouraged to wear hunter orange as a precaution.
