Hey Jonathan!  I mostly just collect them. some of the more unique antlers get displayed in the house. Some of the small sheds with an eyeguard I use for making a combo wingbone/antler turkey call. I use the antler for the bell of the call. [/b]

Mulies around my house are still firmly attached to their antlers.  Elk too.  Don't see to many whitetails in my area so I wouldn't know about them.

Jerry,
I'm in Eastern PA too and I never find sheds when I'm looking for them either.

Look in the thick stuff. In CT I find most of mine in dense vegetation along the edges of swamps.

I guess I need to get out and hit some of my spots, the exercise would be good for me and I'll post some picks. Great picks as always Ron and Ben that's a awesome set of sheds bud.

Holy smokes!!!
It would take me five years of hard searching here in Ohio to find that many horns.
Awesome!!

You must have enough snow pack that the antlers stay on top???

About average...lots of our bucks dropped early this year.

Thanks, I enjoy building those antler/wingbone combo calls.

Still carrying here.  I usually don't find many till March.  I have been out several times just walking the trails in the snow before it melts to see where I should be looking.
