WDFW will auction shed elk antlers to help fund winter elk feeding

[Ray]

Government is notorious for taking a funding source for a specific task/function and *censored*izing it for other purposes sometime down the road.

Yes the government bureacracies in conjunction with politicians are good at that.

Wonder what a set of matched antlers will bring?  Any guesses?

I've known of two BIG matched sets of browns from eastern WY that brought $1200 and $1500 each; they were both B&C class NET typicals.

I think auctioning off the antlers is a good thing. If any of the big sets are 375 or better they could bring thousands if the right buyers show up.
 Hundreds of pounds of antlers are picked up at Oak creek but our elk feeders here in e-burg never find any......hmmmmm.  Interesting. We have bigger bulls and more of them but the feeders never find any antlers. Does that seem strange to you? They must just be really bad at spotting  them.....
