A registration fee of $10 must be paid at the time of registration.  Registrations will not be taken after February 16, 2020.  The hunt will end at 11 am on Saturday, May 23, 2020.

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

Registrations will be accepted by mail until February 16, 2020.  A representative of QIDC will be at the Quehanna Lodge at 818 Quehanna Highway in Karthaus, Pa; at the following dates and times to register participants.  The dates are as follows: January 12th, 19th, 26th, and February 2nd from 1 to 3 pm.  There will also be someone present at the Lodge on February 14th, 15th, and 16th.  Times to be determined later.

Feeding and baiting the wild elk in Pa is prohibited by law.  Do not feed or bait the elk to try and keep them in the area that you are watching.  If caught, you will be cited by the Pa Game Commission and you will be disqualified from the hunt.  The Pa Game Commission has officers on duty at all times.

Official check in time for found sheds will start at 11 am and end at 1 pm on May 23, 2020 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 23, 2020.
