Why are these things not all over the forest floor? We have a ton of deer around my house and I never see them

In Nevada it is specifically forbidden to bait game animals.

Cute. Around these parts, porcupines eat them. Their favorite snack.

In years of hunting and farming, I have seen exactly one antler shed. It was sticking out of a rear tractor tire. I’d think a lot of them just get buried in the leaves and under growth by winter snow. I’ve also wondered if Coyotes or other varmints would chew on them.

They do make great knife handles.

“”””But for many hunters there is just not always enough time to get in the woods and hunt sheds.””””

When I'm traipsing out in the Interior West wilderness, I always will collect a shed if I come across one. My favorite was an ancient (almost broke up into powder when I touched it) shed on the very edge of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon at an extremely remote area.

When I get home, I like to string them up on the eave of one of my sheds, but this one was too fragile, so I keep it on an outdoor table.

Yes, sheds for the shed...

All mule deer sheds, by the way.

Baiting is one of the vectors for Chronic Wasting Disease. It’s a major cool idea, but will cause serious problems for the deer herd.
