What do you guys do with the shed antlers you pick?

Keep them around to look at
Make stuff out of them
Sell them

Just curious.

I'm not sure about everyone else but after I get done molesting them for a day or so I throw them in a box. Been thinking about trying to make some stuff but I'm not real crafty

120lbs if they are elk at $13 a lb is what they are going for here right now you would have a good pay day.

I found one the other day while I was zipping down the highway. Turned around, went back and picked it up. I have a pile in the corner... I am crafty, but also lazy.

All whitetails and mostly small ones. Somewhere around 75lb brown 20lb hard white 10lb chaulk and the rest were damaged got around $900. The pay for the work does not equal out on them for me.

The first set of pic looks like the right side is most dominate find, only found one so far but this one wasn't in my tractor tire like the last one.

I saw 3 decent bucks this week still holding onto both sides. I am always looking for antlers to make knife handles.

Yea I was afraid of that pintail, last year we were a couple weeks earlier and saw 50 bucks still holding. Hopefully we'll find some this weekend. I will post some pics if we do

picked up a few so far this winter but most are buried under snow still.
Really start pilling them up in spring and summer doing field work and haying & rotating cattle through pastures.

We start training our puppies playing with old deer sheds.
When we are out fencing and checkin cattle he is always "hunting" for them now
