Outlaw the sale of Shed Antlers

[danderson]

Dumbest idea of the year.

[DBHAWTHORNE]

You want to restrict somebody's entrepreneurial spirit because you don't like the competition for sheds... thanks man.  I buy a few pounds of elk sheds a year to run a small project with my dad that I'm lucky to break even on.   
How about we outlaw any removal of sheds at all?  It's a mineral sourcefor the ecosystem, you know...

Great point... and that is exactly where something like this would eventually go.... people tend not to think about the second and third order effects.

Like I said your " bought" antlers and "entrepreneurial spirit" would be replaced with replica antler... And as far as the restriction of removal of antler... And mineral source ..Whole nother topic...

Dogs don't like to chew plaster or resin as much as elk antler, bud.

Didn't the WDFW do a random phone survey and 59% want to ban the sale of sheds..............

    yeah..

"Although some potential exists, the Department has no data at this time to suggest that the practice of
selling shed antlers of deer and elk has a negative population or natural resource effect. Therefore it is a social issue that the Fish and Wildlife Commission will address."

And the population of the survey was all shed antler hunters but the potential ban was only on whitetail deer and elk shed antler hunters.... You see...Apparently the Mule Deer, Blacktail Deer and Moose shed hunters think that whitetail and elk shed hunters have it too easy and shouldn't be able to sell those sheds.... so the department has decided this is an important social issues to bring before the commission so we can consider banning it... because the WDFW is doing such a great job at managing the resource and all the social aspects of various users that restricting opportunities of a minority group is the best option.
