Elk Ivory Ideas

They are worth up to $20 bucks apiece? mtmuley

Yup. All those Californians wanting a Yellowstone branded bolo tie with elk ivories have created quite the demand.

Ya, not selling mine either.

 

[FREAK]

I could probably part ways with a few for this kind of dough.

I have a few, not sure why I've kept them. Probably another dozen or so sets since I took this picture.

I've sent some antlers down the road. Most of my ivories and horns I've been solo. The memories are mine. My kids will keep theirs of course. Mostly family hunts. Might send a few more antlers down the road next week. mtmuley

I've been thinking about selling some antlers as well, just can't do it yet.

It's hard. Started with stuff I found, smaller bulls and bucks I killed. Like I said, my solo hunting leaves only one person with the memory. The ivories I think I will keep. Somehow more important than the horns. mtmuley

Shhh, I was going to ask him to mail them to me for disposal. Also your antler buyer is hosing you on prices

Not selling mine to anyone local.

That's what they are getting, not what they are giving.

When my kids were little and took garnets to rock hound shows. There would always be some guy blowing smoke at them saying what they had was worth $XX. I taught them that things are worth what someone will pay you right now.
