Seal (hunter's language)
In the hunter's language , the hunter calls the seal or seal the fracture surface on the drop bar of the antlers of hoofed game that are thrown off annually . In contrast to a sawn-off antler, the broken surface of a discarded antler shows a curved, characteristic surface. The lower end of antlers with his fractured surface recalls, also because of its unique surface structure of a signet that the sealing of documents is used.
The antlers of hoofed game regularly re-form on the rose bushes of the skull . In the autumn of each year a fault line arises between the front cone and the lower part of the antlers on the roses , where the antlers break in February, old Hornung , of the following year and fall to the ground as a drop rod.
