Title: Fortuitous trade!
Post by: Stringman on June 17, 2015, 02:56:58 pm

So, a cousin of mine contacted me and said a friend was overwhelmed with sheds that they have picked up around the farm. Mulie's, whitetail, and even a few elk. The guy said he probably has a truck load of them put back. Doesn't have much use for them and wanted to know if I could use em. I said I wouldn't mind making a trade if he was so inclined.

After receiving a tote full I called him up and worked it out for a couple of my stone knives. This is what I came up with.

I wonder what I gotta give for the truck full?!?

Nice knives!  And I would try to get my hands on ALL those antlers if I was you...  before your cousin's friend talks to someone who makes dog chews...

Good trade. Antler shed is big business for some people.

Patrick, it's in Nebraska. If we both left now, I'm not sure who would get there first. ;D

I could use some small forks if you get more or want to trade some of what you got.
