Was poking around my newest property wondering if there were any bucks around and came across these~! The lone 1/2 of the 6 point has alot more mass than the 10. At least I now know that a couple of decent bucks have visited the area at some point~!

I have a question: Anters are pure bone, or so I've been told. They lay in the woods and mice and other ctitters gnaw on them. I have found dead buck skeletons in the woods, complete with gnawed antlers, but none of the other bones are ever gnawed on. Why?

found a BIG 4 pt this spring-only little scratches on ends of tines from rodents. had been sitten there for 2+ months also found a large tree he had rubbed in the fall- I find all mine in pines also found a buck- same thing, no other bones chewed
Antlers are sold while still in velvet. More weight or yummy fuzzy stuff I don't know for sure.
My father in law raises NewZeland red deer and all of his are cut while still in velvet.
