Shed Hunting

[Birdi23nls]

Are there rules in shed hunting? Do you have to purchase a permit before shed hunting in California? Do you have to have a permit to sell antlers? What if you find a deer that has died and you take the antlers off the remains? Are there any laws or ethics that I should know about before shed hunting???

Rules??? Probably.

Ethics??? On some of the deer wintering grounds, it's a fine line between starvation and survival, so make sure you're not pushing the deer around in areas where you hunt for sheds.

Good luck and post some pics when you find 'em!.

Every state has different laws on shedd hunting.Some require a permit.
Some you cannot take roadkilled buck's.Or winterilled buck's.....Talk to your local "Game Warden" he will fill you in to make you legal......And have fun and good luck..............
