Who actually sells their sheds 😂

[Buckhunter24]

I've left many, never really cared much about sheds.  Growing up the men I learned to hunt from never cared much about them either, that's probably why.  It seems it was never really a thing until recently.  I think I have came home with maybe four over the years, the rest I just left or put up in a tree.  I always thought it was fun to leave them, someone, I suppose, eventually came along and thought they found something real neat when I already passed it up.  If you have ever found an elk or deer shed in a tree, who knows, it might have been me?

I'll pick up a penny tails up in a gas station parking lot. Unless I'm down in a hole or its chalky I'm bringing it out with me

I pack all the sheds out that I find. But the dead heads that we aren’t allowed to keep here in Washington I also stick up in a tree or placed at the end of a tan log. I always figure it will give somebody a brief glimmer of hope during hunting season as they’re scanning with their binoculars before they realize what they are looking at.

I have also shot arrows I have found out hunting up into a tree.  I don't draw my bow all the way back, I pull it just enough before it cams over.  There is one arrow I shot up into a Ponderosa pine about 30 feet up.  It's always fun to go back to that spot and find it.

I found an old Bull Bison skull on a hike near the Yellowstone river inside the park.  It was picked clean and beautiful.  Took a few pics and then left it.  I'll admit I had a few criminal thoughts run through my mind though!

Stepped over many sheds looking for mushrooms.  I never knew they were worth anything until I joined here.

I was the same way. My dad and grandpa didn't even want to pack the horns off animals they shot unless they were really nice. The old timers who taught me to hunt definitely didn't care about packing sheds out.  I packed sheds out most of the time but threw them in our garden or hung them in a notch between 2 big ponderosa pines in my yard. It became a gigantic ball of antlers and looked kind of cool but most of them have deteriorated and some are just little stumps. I guess I just threw away thousands of dollars  . I used to find sheds all the time mostly just following my hounds when we were chasing lions or bears. I have not found very many sheds in the last few years, even when I went out intentionally looking for them. Its become a pretty serious competition ha ha. still fun to look for them but I don't find very many these days. I do keep nice sheds inside now that I have been educated on the value but I haven't accumulated enough recently to worry about selling them. I did find a couple decent whitetail dead heads last year but just threw them in the garden again.

What’s the going rate for shed antlers?

[Buckhunter24]

Last time I sold was summer 2021 I believe the price was 18 a pound for brown elk and moose and 16 a pound for brown deer.

[blackveltbowhunter]

I have sold well over a ton of elk. Some deer and moose as well. I only regret parting with 3 sets off one bull, wish i had hung onto those. Take alot of pics, and always keep some of unique and special ones around the house ( my wife likes them within reason) but once they are a pickup bed worth of garage space collecting dust its time to part ways. Its actually kinda fun in its own way, as im loading them recalling the specs on each one.

I sold 7 brown and 2 white for $680 In October

I’ve never sold any, are you guys selling them by the pound

[trophyhunt]

yes, typically they sell by the pound.  I’d like to find someone to buy them cut for dog chews!

I will check with a buddy of mine he knew or knows someone in that industry. He wanted me to sell mine for dog chews cause he got a better deal if he had a bigger pile. I told him to go fly a kite.

the thought of cutting them up makes me sick, but those suckers are expensive. Let me know by PM please!!!

People that sell their sheds are the same ones that shoot their birddog when it gets old.
