Shed antler hunting from an OHV? Stay on roads and trails

As shed antler hunters begin to scour the backcountry for dropped deer and elk antlers, the Arizona Game and Fish Department reminds those using an off-highway vehicle, or OHV, in their search to stay on roads and trails.

Just as during hunting seasons, it’s important for those using an OHV to ride safely and responsibly. This includes always wearing a helmet while operating the machine, which is a requirement for those under 18, wearing seatbelts if the vehicle is equipped with them and safeguarding against habitat damage by riding on established trails. All sheds should be packed out by foot to keep habitats intact.
