Here is one that I found yesterday. There has been about 150 wintering near my house. My neighbor found one also. Its been a while since I have posted a pic. I hope this works.

I have been told that the sheath of the antelope is all hair.

Hoot, you are partially right-it's keratin, made up of the same stuff our hair and fingernails are......pretty amazing, huh?
Any of you watched a buck shed the sheath? Either it really hurts, or it itches like mad, I've seen 'em run around in circles bucking and shaking their head like they've lost their mind until they pop off and go flying off into the sage.

I knew it too. I also found one while working once - it was July and it had started to rot away, good size, but the thing stank to high heaven, so I didn't bring it home.

We used to find these all the time while out camping. we would take them home for the dogs to chew on. We gave them all of the deer sheds too, some big sheds got eaten.
