Nevada to mull regulating antler collecting
By Ben Botkin, Las Vegas Review Journal
Hunters scour the Nevada wild, looking for fresh antlers that deer and elk have outgrown and shed.
The activity attracts everyone from hobbyists to commercial collectors hoping to discover a complete pair of elk antlers, which can sell for about $14 a pound.
“It’s like the world’s biggest Easter egg hunt,” said Tyler Turnipseed, Nevada’s chief game warden.
