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

I’ve only ever found 1 and it was heavily gnawed on by squirrels or something. (Which probably explains why they aren’t laying all over the place.)

Mice and other rodents gnaw them up fairly quickly.

I think other animals must knaw on them.

I think that small forest critters like mice and squirrels gnaw them away for the calcium content. Plus they look a lot like a tree branch to the casual observer. I read once of a man who had taught a dog to sniff them out and retrieve them.

Rodents chew up sheds pretty quick. Squirrels chewed up a head I put in a tree to rot out and clean out.
