Shed Hunting

I found this set today





My Buddy found this one under a scrape.



I also got four Ruffed Grouse with the 22 mag while walking.

Not much snow by the look of it-hows your temps?

It rained on Christmas so most of our snow melted. Its nice and hard now after cooling off. Like walking on concrete. It's been around -15 f but has warmed up to a few above during the day.

Nice !

Nice find. Worth big bucks down here in the lower 48. What did they weigh?

Thanks

The set weighs 35 lbs

How much is big bucks down there ?

Moscow Hide & Fur is paying $16.00 to $18.00 a pound for #1 brown moose antler. I assume those are fresh sheds that haven’t been mouse chewed.

I’m thinking those antlers will lose a couple of pounds when they get dried out.

Wow that's pretty good. Thanks for the info. Yes these are fresh grade A not fox chewed. I think I will go back out tomorrow. Money laying in the woods.

The catch is - those prices are paid at their warehouse in Moscow, Idaho. Moose antlers are a pain in the real end to ship and expensive.

Good Luck on finding more tomorrow.

Yea thats the deal with salmon too. 60 cents a lb here and $16 a lb in Anchorage. I am out in the bush so that adds cost to get them to Anchorage.

Thanks again.

nice find ,

Those sheds are beautiful yukonjeff nice dark color. Do you sell them or do crafts like carving.?

Wow that gets my heart racing!

Nice! Thanks for posting

Great set Yukon, those are beauties. We’ve scooped 27 whitetail sheds so far, but I’d take that set over all of them.

Nice find

Looks like you found them close together. Have found 3 sets moose sheds over the years and in each case the antlers were within 100 yds. Seems they loose both at about the same time so if you find one start looking as the other is probably not far.

Don't want to hijack the thread but these are two moose sheds I found side by side. I think they may be the same bull moose but from two different years. He must have dropped them where he likes to bed.

all the bucks ive seen are still packin both sides. im dyin to start pickin em up.
i know of a few bein found, still got a bit of time before i start gettin after it tho.

Looks like lower 48 prices are down?I swear Peskas was paying about $20 a lb for brown moose antlers last time I looked? I have a few in a stack, but the shed business died two years ago when I found 11 dead ( deep snow killed) moose within a half mile of the house.


Now they are quoting $11to $13 for brown moose.
