Why do people saw the antlers off deer that have been hit by cars? NSFW

Going into the work the other day I saw 2 goobers feverishly sawing the antlers off a buck that had been hit by someone else. I mean they were racing to get it done.
Not the first time I have seen this either. What is the appeal? Spare antlers for rattling? Lying about a kill?

Some people give them to their dogs. I have no idea if this is what they were planning on though.

Probably going to lie about killing it? Hell idk. Everyone loves a big rack

Mostly just to aggravate other people who see me doing it.

Maybe rattling
Better than that cheap plastic they make horns out of if I had to guess or those awful rattling bags.

so you mean to tell me if you see a 190 class Buck dead, you would pass up on cutting the antlers

Because people go nuts over horns

Great market in selling them to the Bama Crimson tide football players.

Lot of uses for them. People actually pay good money for them.

Knife handles or to use for rattling.

My dad use to make whistles out if the tips of points.
To OP, I can think of a lot more reasons to saw them off than not to.
Now, the two black fellows that loaded up the 6pt in their truck bed (with camper shell) that's been in the median for 2 days was somewhat unnecessary imo

We sawed an 8 pt rack off a carcass someone dumped on the corner of our lease in AR the other day. I was either going to make a hat rack or some rattling horns.
Did not have to saw feverishly though thanks to a good saws-all.

Better than letting them go to waste.

Yep. See what antlers go for in pet stores? Great chews

Meh. I wouldn't run across a four lane highway and do it in morning traffic. If I found it in the woods? Maybe the entire head for a euro mount.
Not to get too sappy, but something seems not right about seeing a grand old buck laying in a highway ditch with the top of its skull cut off. But, dead is dead I guess.
