I found some Elk antlers once at a market in Brighton on the south coast of England: they were enormous! I had a ridiculous idea that I would buy them for my ordinary little house about 200 miles north (I'm not sure I would have got them through the door or that the wall/ceiling height was big enough to take them). Anyway, the whole thing was stymied because I couldn't see how to transport them. I could have tied them to a roof rack on my Ford Fiesta, I guess, but I suspect they would have tipped the car over.
I have no idea how they ended up in England or on a market stall. The aristocracy often bought and transported such things, perhaps they had been in an estate sale or a castle clearance.
I also thought about buying a stuffed bear about the same time. Fortunately, the transport problem saved me from myself.
I guess it's a very different vibe where you are 😁
yeah I see a lot of antlers around. I know some that just hunt for the fallen antlers in the spring after the animals shed them. Then they sell to dog food companies that turn them into natural dog chews.
