Paula Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I just see on relentless pursuit that squirrels eat antlers. I knew mice did. They want the marrow he said. So i will blame it on the squirrels as to the reason i never found one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yes, squirrels, chipmunks do. I have even been told that rabbits have been known, to do a little chewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggamefish Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I saw them the other day in the pet store and they are unbelievably expensive. I have old antlers around the house that I could make a fortune off of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ants Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I was up in a stand one time and saw a rack moving through the leaves. Turned out to be a red squirrel dragging it along. I went and got it later and it was pretty gnawed up. I heard they do it to sharpen their teeth and get the minerals out of the rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFA-ADK Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Supposedly when in growth they have a unusually high concentration of hormones. They use it as a steriod and it is undetected supposedly... Guese it helps the deer after they shed the velvit and eat the remains... They say the bull shark has the highest amount of testosterone in it's system, I wonder how a whitetail would stack up in that department while in prime rut...
