Here out west there was a good market for them, I haven't checked on prices in a few years but at one time they were being bought for 14.00 a pound. It sure was nice to find a 10 pound elk shed once in a while. Of course that was the fresh price. The horns are being shipped to the orient for some kind of medicine or love potion. This was the whole argument of Taulman and the USO against Arizona. It is a huge interstate commerce industry. I know some guys that do it almost full time in the months of april and may, after the deer and elk both have shed.
