I plan to try and sell locally first as shipping some of these would be a PIA and very costly We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

Load up a truck load and come on down for a visit!!! LOL www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

The moose antler market has been depressed since this spring. Prices have dropped and there seems to be a real push back from the industry currently. At least one of the main buyers in the state is not buying currently and others have dropped their prices. I would say for good sheds right now you would be lucky to get $7 to $8 in Anchorage or Fairbanks if you can find a buyer. Might want to hold onto them for right now until things get sorted out. I will be buying again in Sept. I have not finalized prices yet until I hear more. If you need to sell get a hold of me. You should be able to take advantage of backhaul rates out of Dillingham. It is the best way to go.
