Are you curious about how to find shed whitetail and elk antlers? Everyone has their own method when scouting the woods for sheds; join us here at the Elk Country Visitor Center as we discuss some of our most effective methods. Also learn why antlers drop each year and the difference between antlers and horns. After the presentation, test your new skills by trying to find some antlers we have hidden for practice.

Owls are a very fascinating bird. We will cover there hunting tactics and talk about what they eat too. Come and join our staff to learn about our owls in Pennsylvania.
