    I am VERY active in the BP?ML community, Deer & Elk Horns are a VERY important part. ( ranging from buttons, cribbage boards to knife handles etc.

    So how do I get mine ??

    1. Hunting - animal taken, if lucky )
    2. Antler shedding - Deer shed their antlers ( usually from Jan to April, depending on local) If you "cruise" the ares you can find them.Be sure they are recent ( if from last year they are not good )

    NOTE - due to the HEAVY DEMAND, especially from ASIA & other markets, you may run into "professional" antler gatherers. Also note, because of the demand, there have been PROBLEMS.

    3. Attend a BP/ML rendezvous. Traders usual have a supply.
    4. Log onto a BP/ML forum ( if you need to find 1, I can help, I am a Moderator on on of the largest)

    Hope this helps

    That forum would be of great help! Point me at it! Thanks for the advice. If I were a hunter, gathering my own would be easy (or at least, less problematic...) but I'm not.
