There's also a few Youtube videos of people using a chainsaw or a sawzall to trim the antlers and free the locked up bucks

Pubes dreaded out so hoes call me Chris Barnes. I don't wear a condom at the pig farm.
My friends dad is a taxidermist. Mounted a couple deer for my dad. One day he asked if I wanted to come to the basement to see his "masterpiece." It was a four foot wide diorama type thing by his Warhammer terrain tables. Snarling coyote holding a blood soaked deer leg, pool of red resin in the grass by his feet.

It's weird and a bit disquieting that some people choose the flesh of dead animals as their medium, but it's an art form for sure. I'd love to see that masterpiece, but I'd also have way too many questions about its construction.

Also we sometimes get stuff like this:

Is CWD transmissible in the meat or something?

It's still unclear how likely it is that prions can be transmitted by eating meat. There's no conclusive evidence, but the consequences of that happening are terrible (Creutzfelt-Jakob). There is one study that indicated feeding meat from a positive deer to a macaque transmitted the prions but that's all I'm aware of. Brain and spinal tissue are more likely to cause transmission, and there's always the possibility that the butchering process could cause contamination, but it's not difficult to avoid that. I wouldn't knowingly eat a positive animal.

I was going to suggest I am sure there is an antlered rat cryptid somewhere but I can't remember what it's called, but presumably it can rat king itself on both ends to create a sort of neural network.

Rabbit, but there's more than one. American version is the jackalope. German version is the wolpertinger. There are others.

Well there's the deer mouse, which is a mouse, and the mouse deer, which I think is not a deer at all, and is definitely not a mouse. None of them have antlers but mouse deer have fangs so that's pretty badass I guess.

The Wolperdinger can be based on various animals. The most popular is a Squirrel iirc.

No I think antlers are related to hairs, like a hair that grows out as one giant chunk.

Or is that horns?

Jackalopes are real. They are bunnies with a virus that causes keratinous growths that are mistaken for horns. :science:

Antlers are mostly bone, horns are keratin sheaths, similar to hair and nails.

It's sad when animals suffer, like when starving to death while tangled in the rack of another deer. Hunting doesn't mean you enjoy suffering.

Better ease its suffering by killing it and mounting it on my wall instead of freeing it!

Some may call it unsporting. But I'm a sportsman. Everything I do is sporting!

Now get in the cage, so I can shoot you in a sportsmanlike manner.

I think it's phrased that way because of the extra paperwork involved in claiming a deer that's already dead. It can be a pain in the rear end. (Coming from an area where people will literally carry bolt cutters for roadkill deer to take their antlers.....at least this dude went through the proper channels).
