Written by the company

Big Mountain Antlers is a business owned and operated by young entrepreneurs with a passion for craftsmanship, sustainability and the outdoors. We specialise in creating distinctive barware and accessories from naturally shed antlers sourced on the Isle of Jura, a remote and beautiful island off Scotland’s west coast. Each spring, red deer shed their antlers naturally — ensuring that no animals are ever harmed in the making of our products. Every piece we produce, from bottle openers to corkscrews, is made by hand and completely unique. The natural form of each antler means no two items are alike, giving our customers a one-of-a-kind piece that carries the character of the Highlands into their home. Sustainability is at the heart of our business. By working only with natural, renewable materials, we minimise waste and create products designed to last. For us, it’s about more than just barware — it’s about making items that tell a story of nature, tradition, and thoughtful design. As young business owners, we’re proud to be building something rooted in authenticity and responsibility. Whether you’re choosing a special gift or a keepsake to treasure, Big Mountain Antlers offers products that are not only beautiful and practical, but also sustainable and meaningful. Thank you for considering our business.

Unethical theft of Scottish resource directly impacting our wildlife in a money making scheme

London, England bases company stripping a secluded Scottish island of all it's seasonal deer antlers and selling for extortionate prices (£750 for a single antler with basic/effortless candle pin attached) these antlers are vital for the 7,000 secluded deer and other sectors of the ecosystem as they supply the deer etc with vital minerals rich in calcium, phosphorous, sulfur, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and iron, as well as essential amino acids. The calcium which is vital for teeth and bones and supports nerve function, muscle contraction, vision and antler regrowth while phosphorus helps produce protein for general growth and organ function.

Shed antlers are a critical source of valuable nutrients that are often only found in small quantities in things like bark, twigs, buds, and leaves. Plants obtain these minerals from soils derived from weathering bedrock

The deer are deprived of these as this family travel from London and strip the island bare. Like most other resources in Scotland that end up in London.

Further more I did reach out and ask which sections they have stripped as I'll be on the island and seek out 10x small antlers for a clock I am making for a family member hence how I discovered this money making scheme they have going with less than par craftsmanship skills. I explained this island is tick infested bog land which can prove dangerous for anyone traveling alone and wouldn't want to be caught spending time foraging dangerous areas unaware this family have stripped it bare.

I reached out multiple times more and explained my situation, they ignored all correspondence. This is a selfish and dangerous act in an effort to preserve every last antler from my native land for their mass money making system they have going. This also puts me in direct danger walking miles over dangerous bogs for days before I find a section they have not yet stripped.

The company are shockingly arrogant and clearly love scrounging all they can (English tradition) while reluctant to share vital information with native locals to prevent someone wasting days hiking in dangerous weather throughout rugid terrain.

Unfortunately for them they won't be so successful come next season. There is several plans in place to help preserve these natural resources for the deer and natives on this island/islands and not anglo business men/woman lining their own pockets back in London.

Serval teams of us will be spending several weeks on the island ensuring they are secured and spread across more difficult areas to find with all tips removed and the bases opened up. Good luck selling those if you find them haha... see you next season.

Family are arrogant scroungers, nothing more stay clear from funding this little scheme.

John - we appreciate your frustration in not finding any antlers during your recent trip to Jura. Respectfully, there are a few things in your review that we’d like to address:

- the website shop of our small family run business was closed and we were on holiday when you sent your requests for travel advice to Jura
- we have now happily replied to you, sharing the knowledge that we have, albeit we are not the best people to ask for travel advice
- we would guess that August is not a great month to search for antlers; most if not all have likely been found by the local community immediately after the shedding season ie March/April
- in our case, we buy our antlers from locals on Jura; we do not forage for them since, being outsiders with a small business, we believe we should pay
- our purchases represent less than 0.5% of the annual supply of naturally shed antlers on Jura

With respect to your plan to find all of the antlers on Jura, cut the tines off and open up the burrs, we would suggest that you run this by members of the local community, who cherish the annual shed. It’s likely that they will have found most of the antlers cast, but if not, it would be courteous to explain to them your intentions for a natural product that they have collected and treasured for many, many generations. Some may wonder about the viability of this plan given the need to carry heavy power tools over mountainous terrain and through deep bog in order to cut through the rock hard substance that is antler.

We understand this plan is borne out of frustration, but hopefully some of the facts above will put your mind to rest about a) our company and its inconsequential impact on the environment of Jura but (small) positive impact on the local economy and b) the importance of the shed to the local community.

As stated to you in our direct correspondence, please feel free to email or give us a call so that we can help to point you in the right direction for sourcing antlers for your project. We would be happy to also share our experience in working with antler, it’s a little tricky!

Finally, we notice that you have not bought anything from our company. We’re guessing that your comments on our craftsmanship stem from looking at our website photos. We appreciate this feedback and we will do our best to review these images so that our products are better represented to people who do not make a purchase, and are therefore unable to confirm the quality for themselves.

Good luck with your project - and feel free to get in touch, we’re happy to help you.

Attention to detail, helpful and efficient service!

I purchased one of the MBA personalized sets for a gift and could not be happier with my shopping experience. The attention to detail was second to none and they helped me pick out the best kind of wood for what I wanted. Extremely pleased with the engraving and all the advice and expertise. Speedy dispatch and immediate response when I had a question about delivery. I would highly recommend their products!

Absolutely beautiful items

Absolutely beautiful items, and delightfully packaged. The Gstaad bar set looks wonderful on the kitchen counter, and the corkscrew, bottle stopper and bottle opener feel durable and robust. And the antler wood is a beautiful colour! This item would make a superb original gift

I was so impressed by the craftsmanship of this Big Mountain Antlers. The goods were beautifully made with the highest quality cast iron and beautiful antlers incorporated into imaginative designs. I was amazed that the gift I bought (a lovely shoe horn) could be engraved there and then at no extra cost. The owner couldn’t have been more helpful and knowledgable. The gift was ready within two minutes, attractively presented. I can’t recommend this business more highly.

Unique and high quality

This is such a unique and quality brand. By far the best find at Spirit of Christmas this year. The teams passion for their products is infectious and I got the most gorgeous gift for my brother-in-law. The personalisation of the wooden blocks is such a nice touch and was done in seconds! I really can’t rate this brand enough.
