Shed antler obsession appears to be an aspect of green lunacy. They are icons for Democrats.
I was fortunate to find one from a deer on the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge in SW OK while on an outing with my Boy Scout troop when I was a Scout Master back in the 90s. At that time, I had no idea there was money in such things. I later learned of a Boy Scout troop in Jackson Hole WY that finances their entire budget on sheds picked up on the National Elk Refuge just north of JH.
I’ve got a couple around here somewhere, in case I ever need some antler for a knife handle or something. I don’t bother with the weathered ones I find. Certainly don’t go out looking for them.
I have admit that my expectations when I read then headline was 100% different than the actual story. I thought it was hunting from a shed.
Jackson, WY has a few.
Wow. We find them all the time - many of them in my tractor tires. Rural West/Central TX is full of deer, I have 3 separate herds on my property currently numbering about 30, 1/3 or so are bucks.

Antlers have been getting a lot of attention lately, maybe we should all stock up before the shortage.
I've shot a few bucks...And their horns are mounted on my walls........
Found a matching pair of sheds..once...13 points..... and they were tiny.

Way back in 1881, a man named Albert Friedrich opened Albert’s Buckhorn Saloon on Dolorosa Street in downtown San Antonio, Texas. An enterprising entrepreneur, Friedrich opened the saloon with the offer: “Bring in your deer antlers and you can trade them for a shot of whiskey or a beer.” And so, the world’s most unique collection of horns and antlers began. Albert’s father, Wenzel, soon joined in on the act, making handmade horn furniture fro the saloon. In no time at all, cowboys and hunters began to bring in horns and trophy mounts from all kinds of animals.
