If I understand correctly, Sambar Stag grips are so high in price these days because the Indian gov't is prohibiting peasants from collecting stag antlers in national forests.
Not sure if it has something to do w/ dwindling stag populations, poaching, or (according to one article), collectors starting forest fires during their overnight trips into the nat'l forests.
Anyone know what the story is? Any chance of change? What did Sambar grips run before this crackdown?
Should we ask the Indian gov't to broadcast mood-music into the forests, in order to increase the next generation of stags?
