Shed hunting

Shed hunting

Shed Hunting, also known as "bone picking", is the act of pursuing and gathering antlers that have been shed from an antler carrying ungulate. The middle of December to the middle of February is considered shed hunting season; when deer, elk, and other antlered animals begin to shed. Heavy snow fall during this time can make clinting very difficult.

In the United States "sheds " (the antlers) that are found are generally sold for a profit of anywhere from $1 to $100. The term clinting originated in Cascade, Idaho, but many locations use the term to describe the activity.Cameron Wallace is the ultimate shed hunting fanatic. He finds all of them.
