Not quite what people were looking for but still pretty exciting to get your hands on these ones too.

Jackson Hole auction?

ETA: The Boy Scout troop in Jackson Hole used to get to go to the National Elk Refuge and pick up all the sheds to sell at the auction. They were the wealthiest boy scout troop in the nation and took camping trips to Peru and shit.

Jackson Hole auction?
Yup. Auction starts at 10. Viewing is right now and the other streets are filled with private sellers.

Do the Boy Scouts still get to sell the sheds from the refuge?

Cool. I just bought a set in Bozeman last week for my house.

Yes but around 88% goes back to the refuge.

Wow.

How much does a nice set fetch?

Last time I was there they are sold by condition and weight. If they're really unique that adds to the price. They sell a lot in bundles. 

I used to buy a lot of antler when I was working it. Belt buckles, cribbage boards, pipes, etc.

Not sure. A matched pair would have to go for a few hundred in a decent size. I'll try and check later if I can get back.

Ok a good matched set is anywhere from $2,000-8,000. I can't get my hands around them all the way the diameter is so large.

This moose rack was marked as number 1 in the world with a span of 75" and sold. Price tag was $75,000. Not sure what it sold for.

If you didn't hunt it, and you're not a craftsman, what's the point of buying these?

That is cool!  I could make Elk grips for all my revolvers plus a nice Bowie knife from a single antler (I think).

Decor. Huge medicinal market for asians. Something like boiling and grinding them to a powder make you love long time.

Jumpin Jesus!! Last time I bought elk antler (~20 years ago) it was like $20 a pound for kills and first year drops. $8-10 a pound if the porcupines had been nibbling on them or they were bleached out. 

If they can get that kind of dough for antler, more power to them. As somebody who used to deal in antlers, I just find it unfathomable.

I thought this thread was going to be about something totally different.

This is arfcom, you knew you were going to be disappointed when you clicked.  We're lucky it wasn't a tranny.
