Who actually sells their 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 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 :chuckle: . 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
