Antler shed hunt

Jess Laughter prepares to decapitate a winter-killed bull elk she found on the banks of Upper Flat Creek on Monday morning after the Bridger-Teton Nationl Forest's winter wildlife closures were lifted. Laughter and her husband, of Idaho Falls, have been regular participants of the antler hunt on opening day for the past half-dozen years. A new law passed by the Wyoming legislature in the last session will bar non-residents from participating in shed hunting in the state for the first week after winter wildlife closures are lifted.
