Anything from 1.00 per pound for c grades, to 3.50 per pound for b grades, to 11.00 per pound for a grades. Self standers, pairs, unusually large, unusual nontypical, or craft grade get more per pound.

There are some great pictures shown here in this post Thanks for taking time to show them here. I have been able to find about 30 or 40 white tail sheds About two thirds of them have been found using my Boykin Spaniel She is the most intelligent dog I have ever been around She was 6 weeks old and the runt of the litter when I got her I was at a time when I was able to spend an unlimited amount of time with her She has a strong desire to please With that in mind she for the most part has trained herself in nearly every aspect of her training She mostly understood what I expected from her and she did it I started out by having an antler or 2 to use to show her what they looked land smelled like I used it to have her retrieve /fetch it Just used some manner of how you have them fetch a pheasant /duck dummy /wing Only be sure to say fetch the deer bone or deer horn or rack Whenever training be certain to be consistent with what you call it I had a antler in or near her kennel so she has one that was there at all times After some short sessions just saying fetch the deer bone as I toss it Then put the dog inside where they can not se what you are during Tie a rope on the horn and drag it around the yard weaving in and out double back whatever Than just drop the rope And get the dog let it run Telling it what ever your command is When the dog finds it call it to fetch it If you want you can put 2 /3 antlers in place than turn the dog loose When they find them be sure to get excited and encourage them for finding the deer bone horn etc Because I had been training her to fetch/retrieve I only spent a small bit of time to teach her the language The final lesson was I left the dog at home in her kennel inside the house And I went antler hunting by myself And after a short walk I found a decent antler After you spend time finding a few you get a eye for where and how to find more Anyway when I got home I tied a rope to the antler and drug it thru my 2/3 acre yard zig zagging as I went I left it in the edge of the woods and went to get the dog I took her out the side door on the garage Without saying a word I removed her leash and left her go She quickly found where the horn had been and began to work her way along the drag trail I following the trail I had just made In a matter of a very few minutes she had it in her mouth And that was all it took She has locateced many more since than And it is only due to me not spending more time at it she has not found more I am sure your dogs are well trained to hunt so you just need them know what you want them to find.

Very nice sheds.
My old Lab is to fat and lazy to go hunt shed antlers. Or anything else for that matter !
Unless it's a feed pan.
The kids domesticated her.
Can't wait til they go to college and get moved out.
