Not sure about others but I find it interesting when people talk about nature & cut humans out of the equation. I guess humans don't count as part of the food chain in some people's opinion. One would think if there was a shortage of calcium because humans pick up antlers and take them home, we'd see a decline in Boone & Crockett entries in the mid-west where I venture almost every last antler gets picked up.
I guess people taking antlers home and pulling them out of the cycle can't be any worse than a squirrel eating an antler, dying in a hole in a tree & sitting there for the life span of that tree. Well I guess there might be a little more time tagged on to the end cause I guess the tree would nearly have to rot on the ground before that calcium made it back into the dirt. Of course you might have to factor a little more time in there because the tree might have changed the ph of the soil and no vegetation will grow there for a long time thus locking up that calcium even longer.
I guess the quickest way for the calcium to get recycled is if a wolf kills the critter, eats the bones & antlers, walks down the logging road a half mile & takes dump. Maybe that's why they brought back the wolves. Maybe someone should write a paper....
