Yes it is crazy, but some of these high end ranches place a premium on Antlers. They are saleable, and make for good advertising for their ranches, hunting lodges etc. Think outside of the box fellas. Many larger hunting lodges privately owned want to see what is growing on their property. It's obviously not for the shmoe that is hunting public land.
It's kind of the same reason we drive F150's and others drive Ferraris. Because they can. Personally I have never built one, and certainly wouldn't buy one, but some don't have or make the time to walk the woods like we do looking for sheds. Remember to each his own.
