shed hunting
Finding dropped antlers
Shed hunting is the practice of searching for antlers naturally dropped by deer, elk, and moose.
These animals shed their antlers annually, and the fallen racks can be collected for decoration, craft projects, or sale.
The activity combines hiking with treasure hunting: We went shed hunting in the national forest last spring.
