I have picked up quite a few T-bones, ribs and other bones

Is there any value to them?

I know I have heard of people using horse ribs to "glaze" a set so didn't know if cow ribs were worth anything or not

Not trying to get rich but figured I might sell a few to get other stuff I do need or trade for things I need

Few I picked up today

Cash value? Not much if any, but they are an excellent attractant on an open area set. 'Yotes will be drawn to them visually, and get close enough to smell the bait/lure.


Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

Those T bones should have some value.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. I value moose bones enough to beg/borrow/steal them (not really) from friends, relatives, and neighbors if I don't shoot my own that season, they're an awesome bait/attractant that most any fur bearer is likely to investigate. But I doubt anyone would buy them from me regardless of the effort I may be willing to put into acquiring them. Just my thoughts

I'd be willing to bet that if you bundled 10 or 12 vertebrae together and offered them up in the trap shed or tailgated them at a local convention some one would want them. June sells sandwich bags of coyote crap, not because people cant find there own but because it is just easier to buy some.

I pick up every T bone I find. When I come across a rancher’s dried up old dead cow I’ll grab every T bone there. Must have over a hundred.


Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.

I figured as much laugh

Well if anyone needs some and wants to trade something let me know.
I probably have 20 or so right now and always finding more

Ran across a cow that died last year when I was running around today, had to pry some of the vertebrae apart. Still had some disc material holding them together. Dried up and not stinking

I use a lot of them for visuals at coyote sets.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
