There is only one public auction of elk antlers in the world. It is held on the town square in Jackson, Wyoming in May of each year. The antlers, which have been shed by the elk on the national elk refuge, are collected by local boy scouts.

The area is known for much more than antlers. Located in a scenic mountain valley, there has been an increase in the number of people seeking Jackson hole homes for sale or for rent. With Yellowstone National Park nearby, and the beautiful mountain views, Jackson Wyoming real estate rentals are popular among tourists.
