Default Amazing price for dropped antler
Crazy what some people will pay for dropped antlers. This Illinois wild buck's dropped antler recently sold for an amazing 18,000 US to an online bidder.

Makes a guy want to look for drops even more.

When bull moose chase my mares in horse pasture always thought they where a bit nuts. Maybe they get lucky once in a while even with deer.

Looking back, I wonder what I was chasing when I was in the rut. Scares me sometimes

I would think so too. just a little bigger in this vid. It is amazing that these places like the deer farm uses only the genetics and probably strict nutrition over a few generations of deer to create these kind of bucks.
