Outlaw the sale of Shed Antlers

[longwalker]

So you would have to ban the sale of all antler products as well right? Other wise your not banning anything. I can just make my antlers in to knife handles and sell them, thus still selling a shed antler. Not a very well thoubt out piece of legislation your wanting to see here . Seems more like a knee jerk , foot stomp, it's no fair I can't find more sheds reaction to me....

Shed hunting is a big deal to some people. I have a buddy who hires a plane to fly the Blues for a few hours then hikes in and camps where they found the bulls. He can barely pack all the sheds he finds.  He sells enough to pay the expenses and keeps the rest. I have no problem with that type of initiative and drive.

But... but... that's not FAIR, Comrade!!

So you don't like to sell yours. Nobody else should either.

It has been a pretty good fund raiser for Oregon Sportsman. I think the Oregon Trappers Association has raised over $40,000 soliciting antler donations and selling them.

 
Let's ban everything that somebody doesn't like. People complain about all the laws and lack of freedom, yet they ask for more laws if they think it will benefit themselves.

  Like that Hunt Wa forum that causes all the angst among us hunters should be banned too.

This is just dumb.  Maybe everyone would like to outlaw your hobby, or your job, ....outlaw yardsales and homemade jewelry. How about outlawing driving ugly cars.       Or you could value liberty and freedom and mind your own business and let others mind thiers.    This kind of crap is ruining this country.

Just ban everything we do now !! It is coming sooner or later !  Anything that takes from our freedom I SAY 

[billythekidrock]

It wouldn't solve anything to ban the sale of them, people would just go underground with it and demand would actually increase.

I don't think you could compete with the large scale commercial demand with an under market personally... Of course people will always break the laws... I live an area where people from out of state ... "Idaho" come over and literally camp on the Bulls... Very few bones left behind in some areas... Hard to compete when you can olny walk on weekends...And they sell all of there bones... Really erks me..

Wow... I can't get mine, so they should not be able to get theirs?

I'm surprised shed hunting has lasted as a hobby and not been taken over by professional pickers from other countries yet.  Have they not caught on or not enough money for them?  'Brush picking', berry picking and mushrooming used to all be done as supplemental/seasonal income by rural residents. 
I wouldn't want a ban or season or license, but maybe do something with the trespassing enforcement for private land.

Better ban mushroom pickers as well.

Well mushroom picking is at least regulated.

[builtfordtough]

Mushroom hunting is regulated? Never been checked. Been picking chantrells for 25 yrs.  I think the quota is a 5 gallon bucket... Gotta get them before the mushroom clubs get them

Each land management agency has their own regs. Most of the Forest Service Ranger Districts now require a free permit to collect any mushrooms. Under state law, if you collect over 5 gallons you need a specialized forest products permit which are issued by the sheriff's department.

Cry me a river. Oh poor you, the Idaho bullies camp and take all YOUR sheds. What happens if somebody hunts your spot? Maybe we should all have lease our own acre?

I wouldn't be in favor of this idea at all. I do wish there was  a way to eliminate the jackwagons in their dirt bikes and snow machines running the deer all over the mountain. Side note. Pretty sure the jackwagon on the dirt bike chasing the deer up and down the hill in the entiat a couple weeks ago got busted.  That's good news.

I would be all for outlawing atv's of any kind on Any and all public land not designated specifay an orv park but that has nothing to do with sheds. I just see atv's as a plauge and would love to see them go
