Never bought any. I believe it may be illegal in NC. Be sure about your state's law.

Used to be ,perhaps still is, illegal to sell any part of a game animal (except fur bearers), in Iowa.

Better check your game laws.

Here in Michigan, Gander Mountain sells deer farm antlers for rattling or anything else you want to use them for.

Got this out of North American Whitetail Magizine. This is for sheds.
Antler inches 60-plus $25-$35 for single
Match set $80-$100

that sounds kinda expensive lil jake.

I mean not that I know, I believe you.

But maybe those are for wild sheds like you said. I found a site that sells what I assume are antlers from new zealand. alot of red deer and stuff but also lots of elk, and WT deer too. The guy has a large selection of different animals and most are cheap. I think his cream of the crop stuff was only around $100 for large antlers in pairs.

A 60" shed is probably off of a 140ish buck.. 60X2+spread= 140ish

It is legal in Nevada to buy/sell antlers if they are sheds. I have bought antler for knife-handle material  before. The last time I did, I payed about $14.00 a lb for deer antlers.
Hope that helps.
