One of my duties that I have been assigned this fall is to clean out some of the excess some of that includes some moose antlers some sheds and some with skull plate removed trying to find out what the going rate is for them I know they usually are by the pound anyone know what a guy can get ? I plan to try and sell locally first as shipping some of these would be a PIA and very costly

Hit Family Trapper up, he bought my last bunch, fair price. I am sure he can point you in the right direction.

You mean each antler was removed from the skull, right?

The going rate here in north Idaho is $10.00 to $12.00 per pound for # 1 brown.

Chewed, damaged, cracked, damaged antler is discounted.

Load up a truck load and come on down for a visit!!! LOL

Family Trapper is a buyer, you could pm him. I think he's done for the season though.

$9 to $10 brown. Couple bucks less for white. 4 or 5 bucks for mossy. Making dog chews, I believe?

I don't think you will find anyone in the state paying those prices currently. If you can jump on it. 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.
