you could give kelly a call, he is in the cranbrook area. his number is 250-426-4462. just to be warned antlers aren't selling for much. I just sold him a few and they are only going for 4 dollars a pound, for the perfect ones. That means no chipped tines and brown.

This thread is way old, but I'm interested in buying sheds/antlers. Deer, elk, moose, sheep etc etc... Looking more for bulk quantities, like 50lbs minimum. Will come pick up and pay ca$h!

I'm interested in using them for furniture and accessories (handles, hangers, holders etc..). So I'd prefer more bone to be in great shape without chips or broken tines, but that being said I have some ideas for bone that has imperfections as well. I haven't bought bone before, so the only clue I have as to value is older posts here on HBC or Google...wouldn't mind having a few guys chime in here on potential prices. I'd assume the antler in great shape would be worth a few dollars a pound more then the broken, chipped, old and grey stuff.

My "Fur, Fish and Game" magazine had prices estimated at $10/lb for 2015, but it's a US publication.

Yes, I've read a few articles (from the U.S.) that support your statement. Top quality "brown" bone can go for up to $10/lbs. The prices for "hard white" bone seems to be more in the $3-6 range. That seems pretty fair, no?
