POST FALLS, ID— Buck Knives, Inc., a widely-recognized global leader in the hunting, outdoor, and everyday carry (EDC) knife markets, knows that the end of hunting seasons, along with possible cabin fever and warmer days ahead, means one thing--folks everywhere are heading outside to search the fields and forests in hopes of finding shed antlers. From small deer antlers to sweeping elk antlers to massive moose antlers, the search is underway in many regions of America. Buck Knives offers these tips for those on the hunt for antlers:

* Carry quality binoculars and scan the transition zones where fields meet forests, along game trails, and in bedding areas. Look closely for antler tips and white color items against a darker background. Using binoculars can help you cover more ground in less time.

*When you see a game trail leading from an open area into brush, pause and study the area carefully. The same goes for trails where game animals go under--or leap over--fences and creeks. The impact with trees or sudden jolt when an animal lands on the ground could be all it takes to knock an antler free.

* Carry a knife. You just never know what Mother Nature could toss at you when you are in the field, so be prepared to tackle any challenge. The iconic Buck Knives' 110 Folding Hunter is a great choice, and you can stash it in a jeans pocket, carry it in a daypack pocket, or strap it on your belt with the included leather sheath. More details on this knife can be found at www.buckknives.com/product/110-folding-hunter-knife/?sku=0110BRS-B.

* Check the game regulations for your state and study local regulations, such as those of county and state parks. Some places do not permit hunting for antlers--or permit antler hunting only after certain dates.

*If you find a matching set of shed antlers, there are now DIY taxidermy products where you can attach the antlers and create a stunning European mount. These can be great ways to display the trophy antlers you discover.

* As always, when venturing outdoors, check the weather forecast, plan accordingly, and let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return. To be ready for the unexpected, Buck Knives offers more than 50 EDC knives. If you like traditional knives, look no further than the classic 301 Stockman knife with its three blades and a choice of black Valox or DymaLux Rosewood handles. This knife is designed for pocket carry and has sheepsfoot, clip point and spey 420HC steel blades.
