Shed antlers

Right after the bucks and bulls drop their antlers for the year, our family finds it fun and relaxing to go to the wintering grounds and look for shed antlers. It's like a glorified Easter egg hunt.

But, it gets us out of doors, active and in healthy air. Often, it is 12-18 degrees Fahrenheit at night and 25-30 during the days. We commonly hike up to six miles a day, and we see a lot of wildlife.

The video clip shows how difficult it is to spot a shed. They look like the dry sage limbs lying around. The only sound on the video is the wind.

Is this the video that I took when I was over with Dad or is this something new?
