I had 2 sets of this years antlers skull capped (fur still on). I left them sitting outside. Got back from being out of town for a couple days and they're gone. Possible that dogs or birds could've ran off with them? I can't imagine it being birds because of the weight. But no idea if this is something birds or dogs would go for.
I had a Bear skull that was drying, after I boiled it. It was destroyed by my dog. I had pieces and teeth all over the place thou. Maybe people then?????
Yep, my dog loves antlers. If I leave one where he can get to it he will definitely go after it. He finds at least a couple a year on his own. If he finds them I usually let him have them. I am a meat popsicle.
Dogs more then likely. My uncles dog would take full hides and bury them in the grove behind his house then pull them out months later when they were rotten and chew on them in the front yard till someone could get it away from him.
