Last year, my buddy and I sold a bunch of shed antlers on the internet, mainly to people from the east coast. Made over $500 on the antlers. I kept a few that I liked, but the real fun in the sheds, IMO is finding them.

We find a few sets of elk sheds but we have never tried selling them . An elk when he sheds one will try to get the other one off at the same time . we found set from a 6x6 this year ,one was in the open and the other he jammed under a fallen tree to get it off . If you find one look close and you can often find the other one .
