For a number of years it was a real big money thing when the Chinese and other oriental folks were using antler ground up for aphrodesiacs[sp]after the crackdown on Elephant and Rhino from Africa. That seems to have dropped off some. Elk Antlers were going for over $15.00 per pound. Moose right now is selling for $18.00/lb. But is mostly being used in Art. From furniture to carved scenes within the horn. Like I said it is amazing what people will think up given a little imagination. Of course if not picked up after the animals shed their horn, antlers- they are gnawed away by little critters or disintegrate to dust.Gary Keimighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745695573558394342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300271970450484363.post-69682784963611779402009-05-21T10:38:37.900-06:002009-05-21T10:38:37.900-06:00Wow!
