Perfectly legal, so long as the antlers aren't from a poached deer.

I still don't understand the reasoning as to why it's against the law to sell migratory birds.

They get 10-18 dollars for a 6 inch piece cut in half length wise in the pet stores.
My dogs will devour them.

I sell antlers all the time for about $11-14 per pound. Generally as long as they dont have cracks or splits they can bring that amount.
