Antler shed hunt

Jess and Stephen Laughter, center, regale their excursions in the forest with friends Monday afternoon at the Flat Creek Trailhead after spending the morning looking for antler sheds. Many in the group are from different states and had met at previous shed openers. "We always count on Jackson to reconvene us," Jess Laughter said, adding that she and her husband don't plan to come back next year since they won't be allowed to collect antlers for seven days after the opening of the season. "I'll miss the community."
