As of January 1st, a ban prohibiting the collection of shed antlers on lands west of the Continental Divide went into effect. Mark Zornes, Wildlife management Coordinator in the Green River Region for Game and Fish says the ban will be in effect through April.
Zornes says the regulation is necessary to protect animals that are searching for food on the winter ranges.
The crime of gathering horns and antlers during the ban is treated much like poaching. If you see anyone you suspect of gathering horns and antlers on public lands, you are asked to call the Game and Fish Hotline at 1-877-WGFD-TIP.
