Pretty sweet Wayne ? I think I've spent more time following your shed hunting and trail cam threads theny any other on HBC.

Please keep at it.

I’m sure you don’t care, but that’s a lot of money sitting right there...! There isn’t anything my dogs enjoy more than fresh/fresh shed elk antlers !! I wish I lived somewhere that was possible.. but I’m not feeling a 7 hour drive to cranbrook ^^

$30 for 6” retail lol.

bulk goes by lb but I have no idea.

Last bunch of buddies i know of went out at 9 bucks per pound.....

Will get more expensive as our Critters continue to crash. Could be more valuable then Blow soon.

You know, down here, a 4" length of the very bottom of elk bases fetch over 80$ in the local retail shops!!

Now I know why I no longer find deer sheds where I used to find tons!

Average shed weight is 4 pounds you can get up to 12 bucks a pound when its a fresh shed,,sold my last bunch 4 years ago for 9 bucks a pound
and got 2,300.00 bucks for them ,,if I sold this new pill in the picture for 12 bucks a pound would get around 3 thousand bucks

No ....... Tge reason there not there......that would be because mismanagement by Government. Death by 1000 cuts. No money to wildlife and habitat. No form of predator control. LACK OF ANIMALS ON THE LANDSCAPE because of it.

Way to go BC Gov past and present.

So true.
I cant say for sure how many shed hunters hit the area I hunt each year, for over 35 years on MD.
But I used to find a decent amount each year, and I know the other hill I rarely hit anymore had tons.
Now, I am lucky to find 1:shock:

I sure hope it is due to shed hunters!
But I worry that your statement is the real truth.
