Antler collectors are reminded that shed antler collection is prohibited on public lands starting January 1, 2020.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is reminding antler collectors that collection shed antlers on all public lands west of I-25 is prohibited from January 1st to April 30th in an effort to protect wintering big game animals and sage grouse species.
Shed antler collecting has become very popular over the last decade. Commercial collectors, which sell sheds for decorations, have led to a substantial increase of people searching for antlers and horns in sensitive wildlife areas.
