Why are deer antlers worth so much?

They are worth nothing, it doesn't matter how long I cook them they're still tuff

Oriental "medicine" it does have vitamin and minerals but I doubt it does anything else but some people think it enhances the male sex drive

Knife handles, buttons, jewelry, coat hooks, door pulls.

Have a friend who made pipes out of them.

knife makers will buy. why would you sell them anyway it's a trophy even if it's a spiker

who said they were worth so much? My dogs love them as a chew toy.

The writer doesn't even know what a deer is apparently

sold by the pound for medical use

They’re not really worth that much. If there is an inflation of price. It’s due to high demand. However items made with deer antler will be worth more due to the difficulty of working with antler in general.

Deer antler sheds don't last long in the wild. Squirrels and other rodents gnaw on them. Spend much time in the woods and you'll run across one half gnawed. The antlers are used for knife handles among other things. Since they don't last long it makes for less. In this case, less means more. More money...
