    BUT....CHANGE may be coming. :) Looks like there is some upcoming legislation, if passed, will allow us Virginians to posess the sacred shed antler.

    I wonder if anyone actually enforces this law?

    LOL...I was having a blonde moment but I was still right. :) The way I see it, sheds are ILLEGAL to possess, right now.

    What I posted was the proposed legislation not the current law. I should have read it more clearly but here is a link that may better explain it.

    B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, any American Indian, who produces verification that he is an enrolled member of a tribe recognized by the Commonwealth, another state or the U.S. government, may possess, offer for sale or sell to another American Indian, or offer to purchase or purchase from another American Indian, parts of legally obtained fur-bearing animals, nonmigratory game birds, and game animals, except bear. Such legally obtained parts shall include antlers, hooves, feathers, claws and bones.

    WHY do we continue to have laws that are RACE based? Why do we have such puss bag judges that actually entertain race based laws? Funny how we have laws that say we cannot discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, country of origin....yet we can make race based laws and people actually think that is ok?

    I put that in pink because it is well.....weak
