What do you all do with the sheds you find? Anyone want to post pics. I have my sets hanging on a wall, a few of the big ones on the entertainment center and the rest go into a pile. Id love to figure out somethin cool to do with them.
Interested in selling one or a set?

I want one to throw on my wall as a modivational kind of thing.
Wouldnt know where to find one.

this is going to sound really easy but its not always as easy as it sounds

go to where the deer are hanging out right now. this time of year they will start dropping their antlers, find said deer hang out spot and just start walking around looking at the ground. walk slow and look at everything if you think its an antler pick it up 9/10 times for me its a stick but shed hunting is a lot like deer hunting; patience and persistence will pay off eventually plus its a great way to get out of the house and into the woods

good luck

Wouldnt even know where to find deer. :(
Thanks for the how-to though. I know a few spots Ive seen them run across the roads before pretty consistently.  Maybe Ill try there.

Does anyone of you talented gents want to tell how you hide the wire and what method is best for connecting antler to antler?  The lamps, broom and TP holder are my favorites  OH and the chandelier!!! :tup:

It's kinda like connect the dots, Start at the base and drill a hole as far as you can until it comes out of the antler.
This will be your starting point for the next hole to drill. Continue doing this till your last hole arrives where you want the wire to come out. It takes practice, following the curviture of the antler, When you have fished all the wire thru, you putty up the holes and color them to match the antler. I am far from a pro at this, but with a little practise, it works great.  Good luck :)

There is a guy from Lewiston that buys the brown sheds.  A friend of mine just got $4200 for 300 lbs of a mix of whitetail and moose antlers.  He buys them by the pound and I think it was $9 for deer and $11 for moose.  Looks to me like AntlerKing has at least a few thousand dollars worth in that pile.

Might be worth checking out!
