Antler Highlight – How It Works
My policy as an antler buyer is simple: when my loyal shed hunters find a true trophy—whether a stunning typical or an incredible non-typical—I do everything I can to market that antler for them, with all proceeds (minus shipping costs) going directly to the finder.
A once-in-a-lifetime find deserves maximum reward for the person who earned it. It’s been a great season so far, and the antlers are stacking up.
From time to time, I’ll be highlighting some of these exceptional pieces and giving anyone interested the opportunity to own one. I won’t be posting prices. If you’re interested, send me a private message with your offer. I’ll pass it along to the owner, who will decide whether to accept it.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. That said, I can often arrange very reasonable shipping if you’re attending the Alpine sale or are located near one of my pallet shipping points. Alaska Airlines has also offered competitive rates compared to other methods. Because of this, we may want to discuss shipping before an offer is finalized.
Offers will remain open until one is accepted, and I’ll note on the post when that happens.
Please understand that the antlers are currently about 500 miles away from me. Shipping will occur once they’re back in Anchorage and payment has been received, so this does require a little patience. It may seem backward, but the finders are eager to learn the value of their once-in-a-lifetime antler—and I know there are buyers just as eager to secure one.
This approach has worked well for securing reasonable shipping. Unfortunately, shipping can’t be quoted until we know the destination and method. Some locations may not be an option at all. I will only mail antlers if they are small and safely boxable.
With that said, here is the first installment of what I’ll be calling:
