Collecting Shed Antlers Prohibited Until May 1st

A reminder for Deer and Elk Antler Enthusiasts, collecting sheds in much of the western part of the state is prohibited until the end of April. Following a series of public meetings held in 2009, the Game and Fish Commission enacted a regulation to establish a season for the collection of shed antlers and horns on public lands west of the Continental Divide.
Under the regulation, shed antler gathering is prohibited on most public lands west of the Continental Divide between Jan. 1 and Apr. 30.
Public lands in the Great Divide Basin are excluded.
