antler velvet - OK to eat?

callktulu
Not for me, but my dogs. I took advantage of a roadkill elk and his antlers were still in velvet. Since my dogs love antlers, I usually give to them to chew on, but this is the first time I've "harvested" one in velvet.

    Naturally harvested velvet is great for dogs, not so for commercial sold velvet.

    I heard it is an aphrodisiac, but my wife poured her coffee out before I could find out.

    I remember it being a "cure all" on "Longmire". I wonder if they're spongy (the bit near the crown) like sheds when in velvet?

    Yes, the part near the base along the inner curve is a little spongy.
