I'm always a little skeptical about the racks listed on ebay. I feel that it is a poachers dream. They can poach a deer, cut the antlers off and sell it on ebay. The bigger the buck, the higher the price. Ebay doesn't worry about if they are tagged antlers or not. Shed antlers I think are great to purchase on ebay but antlers (non-mounter without tags) I feel are just encouraging poachers. I'd rather not see them on there IMO. I did a little searching on Ebay one time and saw that some people had multiple sets of antlers on there. No tags and nothing that said where they came from. Sure, it could have been a deer farm, but I don't think there are that many deer farms out there.
