I love, love, love Walt Longmire. If Tim McGraw tells me "No!", Walt is my next choice.1 -

I don't see any (known) side effects mentioned, but the fact that it contains sex hormones would make me very reticent.
Not much info on the positive effects of this supplement either, lots of claims but not much evidence apparently...
I already have to be on the alert for deer dashing into the road. I don't need to be worried about them trying to start a territorial fight with me because I'm exuding stag sex hormones.
I’m more ticked off at the young buck who ate almost all my plums off my little tree.
Four years ago I planted it. First year there were a handful and we got zero. The tree is taller and there were probably 150 plums yesterday. This morning? Maybe 20, all at the top.

Nothing but a tall sturdy fence is 100% against a very hungry deer, but I do keep them out of my tulips and hosta by hanging quartered bars of Irish Spring soap.

Are there any side effects of deer antler velvet? I have looked at a lot of articles and I can’t find anything conclusive.
I used to work for a company that sold this. Don't waste your money. Were you looking to boost your testosterone? Here are better options:

To optimize your testosterone levels, you don’t only need the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals; you also need to sleep well, exercise, and keep a healthy weight.1 -
What are you hoping this supplement would do?1

My former company pitched it as a natural source of IGF-1, a hormone which helps with muscle growth.0 -

Which is weird because it's apparently full of estrogen/estrogen-like compounds...? I fully admit I don't know much about hormones but that seems off.0 -

Which would make it better suited as a menopause relief aid, one would think.0 -
Ate you wearing it? Like a velvet track suit? In which case I'd advise against it3

Deer antlers make great dog chews but they're wickedly expensive. That's all I know about deer antler.
see.... we live on a farm. while we dont allow hunting on our land, areas around us do. And im convinced no one in this county can actually shoot to kill immediately, so a lot of injured deer DIE on our land. so our dogs get plenty of antlers for free. and other deer bones. were i more industrious, id find the deer before the dogs and harvest, package and sell the suckers myself LOL1 -

I mean, pursuant to local laws, it sounds like you have a "free venison" problem, which furthermore sounds like the opposite of a problem.2 -
