In most places hunting season is over before Deer shed so by the time next season rolls around they are usually chewed up pretty good by squirrels, rabbits & porcupines.
little hike this morning I saw two white tails trashing on each other. Some turkeys making a bunch of noise, too.

During the fall it seems like every wild animal within 10 miles of here want's to either kill me or fuck me. i don't blame them, tho

Driving out to the WalMart in the am, I almost always see deer and turkey on the city fringe. Easy to hit them as they aren't afraid of traffic at all. 5 deer this morning and 6 big turkeys just standing around in the road and berm

All of a sudden they all have huge balls and are looking for a fight.

I've never had much experience with antlers. Can they be carved? Like into 1 long bad ass knife or prison shank-like item? I think I have like a half memory of a movie or a dream where someone gets stabbed through the jugular with an antler knife. And it was awesome.
yeah, they can be carved, and take fine detail, but they'd be much better for a handle than a blade. very brittle, and they get spongy if you carve too deeply

Lots of people use them for handles, they're too soft to hold an edge though. The smaller ones I sell get carved into little trinkets, chess pieces, figurines, etc..
I sold a bunch to an older Native gentleman a couple years ago and he gave me a key fob he carved a feather into. Tourists love buying those things when visiting the reservations.

I tried to google some results for you to find the gif you were thinking of. this was a mistake and now I'm pretty sure i am on some new watch lists.

Was trying to post a pic but not working right now.
I'm thinking @Blue Wizard used them for flint knapping (making arrowheads) also.
