I think auctioning off the antlers is a good thing. If any of the big sets are 375 or better they could bring thousands if the right buyers show up.
Hundreds of pounds of antlers are picked up at Oak creek but our elk feeders here in e-burg never find any......hmmmmm. Interesting. We have bigger bulls and more of them but the feeders never find any antlers. Does that seem strange to you? They must just be really bad at spotting them.....
