Time to sell sheds

    The shed forum has been a little slow lately so I thought I would post a couple pictures.

    Last Wednesday 12 of the local shed hunters in my area got together and sold sheds from this spring. When it was all said and done we sold over 2500lbs of bone. There was a lot of boot leather and sweat that went into finding those. Hard to see them go down the road, . But with a little cash in our pockets and an empty space in the garage we’re already making plans for next spring.

    Nice. I followed that guy through Iowa a couple years ago I think. I’ll have to try to dig up the pic I took.

    Lucas, you da man ! That is a pile of sheds ! What do these buyers do with all of them? Furniture, art, sell them? Just crazy that some guys find so many that it actually takes up space in the garage!

    Keep in mind there was 12 guys who contributed to that pile. Most of those guys hunt sheds harder than they actually hunt deer and elk. So there was quite a few who contributed to that pile. Most of us find between 30 and 60 elk sheds a year. Occasionally someone will have a good year and find a few more than that but that’s a good average. It takes a good bit of room to store those, especially if you don’t sell for a year and you have two years worth stacked up. Not to mention the big and/or unique ones that we keep and never sell. The buyer sells most the sheds to the Asians where they grind them up and use them for medicines. The rest they sell to make into furniture and dog chew toys.

    Outrageously priced dog chews! For the price they charge for those things, I’d have thought you would get paid more.
