    Some people will go to any length, wont they.
    Disturbing part is, hunters will be blamed and thus frowned upon further, yet we don't know whether it was a Hunter or
    other??????
    Same thing happened at one of the Ranches close to where I hunt MD.
    They had a buck poached off the property they said by hunters.
    I asked them if they knew for certain it was a hunter or from the band.
    No reply.

    With the outrageous price of antler chews for dogs, it will be more than poachers chasing a herd like that

    I think I have a few thousand dollars sitting there in just 1 of the elk antlers I have laying around the garage!
    IT is a joke what they charge, and yes, opened up a whole new market....black market as well.
    Here is part of my 2021 MD.
    Think I saved myself some money! (dont you think)

    She has got the whitest teeth in the family
    I think the reason so many small dogs have teeth pulled is because they don't chew on anything.

    Won’t that market dry up with the new regulations proposal involving animal
    parts? If they cannot prove where the antlers came from they should be illegal to sell.
    The Rocky Mountains is the Marrow of the World
    "Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. "Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men." "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline."
