You can buy shed antlers in Alberta , Saskatchewan but not in Ontario. Just google shed antlers for sale and change the end to Alberta and then next search but Saskatchewan. All kinds for sale.
Also there are a couple of elk farms by Ottawa that sell antlers there as well. But they are not shed they are cut off. A friend of mine made a few for his restaurant with those and they worked out nice.

Re: Looking to aquire some deer antlers..
From page 27 of the regs.
A person may buy or sell a single hide of a black bear (with head and claws attached), or a single hide of a moose or deer (with- out the head attached) and a single set of cast antlers of wood- land caribou, white-tailed deer, American elk or moose per year if they were lawfully acquired. A hunter or trapper may sell the hides of any black bear, deer or moose that they have lawfully harvested, or cast antlers. A person who wishes to buy more than a single hide or single set of cast antlers must have a dealer’s licence.

Re: Looking to aquire some deer antlers..
Still haven't heard back from the MNR, but I have to say, I am totally dumbfounded by the laws you guys have pointed out.
If things are going to head in the direction of legality I am going to have to figure out another way of going about this project.
The wife want to train our Black and tan to find sheds, but we have never had much luck in locating them, or at least nice enough ones to make furniture from.
I never imagined the hardest part of this boiling down to a law..
colouredchameleon, thanks for heads up, I took your post the wrong way, going to blame complete ignorance of the law for that one. I am glad you pointed it out before I made an expensive mistake. Thanks.

To collect sheds you would have to be out early in the year...............as in long before the snow is gone!!Pydpiper wrote:Still haven't heard back from the MNR, but I have to say, I am totally dumbfounded by the laws you guys have pointed out.

If you're not finding any it could be the area is picked over before you get there.
Find out how much a dealers license is................it may not be as much as you think!

Re: Looking to aquire some deer antlers..
You could try making a Rack Trap
See youtube for how to.
Type in Deer Rack Trap for details
But please do it later so as to not trap a deer that is not ready to shed yet

David . . .the laws are intended to deter poaching. Not sure if it does a good job, but, still . . .

Re: Looking to aquire some deer antlers..
I have the same issue....sort of.....wanting bigger antlers. I am addressing it by resolving to go find a bigger deer, and putting a Firebolt (or some lead) through him.
