The Quehanna Industrial Development Corp’s annual Elk Antler Shed Hunt is held from February to May. Then on the last Saturday in May, WIDC holds the scoring contest and the winner is awarded a prize.

Registration for participation in the elk antler shed hunt contest was due February 14, 2025. The hunt will end at 11 am on Saturday, May 24, 2025.

The area for the hunt will be in the Pennsylvania Elk Management area. Check the Pennsylvania Game Commission Hunting and Trapping Digest. Sheds must come from the wild elk herd, not a game farm or reserve.

Official check in time for found sheds will start at 11 am and end at 1 pm on May 24, 2025 at the Pottersdale Community Park, near Pottersdale, PA. The participant that is registered and has found the antler, must be the person that will have the antler scored. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Prizes will be awarded for the largest score, which will be 50% of the elk antler shed hunt registration fee that is taken in. We will also donate 5% to the Keystone Elk Country Alliance. QIDC will also get 5% to help pay for promoting the event and the expenses that incurred to organize this event. The remaining 40% will be divided equally with registered participants that found sheds and checked them in on May 24, 2025.
