    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
    Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole

    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)

    If that litle scrap in the pic is an antler shard, that is just the kind of thing that brings about a vet visit.
    Antlers can shatter , just like bones.

    I knocked that piece off shortly after pic.
    It would have been a shard.
    Generally she just scrapes off the antler into what you could call a "powder form".
    But thanks for the heads up.
    This is already her 4th antler she is starting to go thru in 2 years.

    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.
    (Boy, did I take this thread off topic....sorry)
