If you’ve ever been out looking for shed antlers, you know how much of a needle in a hay stack the search can be. The prized finds can mean big money depending on the size and whether you can find a matching set.
Each spring, animals such as deer, elk and moose shed their antlers. That means somewhere out in the woods there is a payday just waiting to get picked up.
