I get a similar adrenaline rush to finding a big shed antler after walking for hrs as I do shooting an animal... it sounds odd but it is why I'm addicted to it!
Bingo. Men have had antler obsessions for thousands of years - cave paintings with big antlered deer speak to that. So I guess you could say I am in touch with my ancestral roots.

They are the ones that started the big buck craze. Antlers were a bonus byproduct after meat from a deer. You had tools and weapons as incentive to kill a big buck.
Right on. I give away plenty of old antlers to guys that use them as tools - although I am sure not quite as primitive.
