Thinking of selling my Elk antler sheds.

[mobil890]

I was thinking about selling the Elk antler sheds I found to pay for some unexpected bills. Should I call a taxidermist or sell them on the open market. I'm not even sure what to ask for them. I do know there are people that buy them and they do have a value. Any information on this matter would be much appreciated. I also have a Mtn. Lion fur that has been tanned and skinned for a full body mount.

check your states fish and wildlife web site for the laws that pertain to you selling any animal body parts

In Oregon for instance you would need to either sell to a licensed hide and antler dealer or be one yourself to sell them to a non licensed person.

Research Chinese herbal medicine providers. I know the practice is a big deal in the PNW. elk antlers are quite valuable to these folks.

There is a magazine called "Fur, Fish, Game". I had a subscription for years. Anyway, that magazine has a section in it every month that has the wholesale prices paid for furs and antlers (yes, most antlers go to China), and several places offering to purchase. On top of that, it is a extremely good magazine. Check with you local library or Fur-Fish-Game || The Hunting, Fishing, & Fur Trapping Magazine for Practical Outdoorsmen.
