Any antlers you don't want, I would love. I have a friend who makes a living making knives from the antlers. He would probably make you a beautiful knife for a bunch of sheds.



There are two kinds of people in this world, those who believe they can and those who believe they can't. They are both correct.

Definitely. The need to be fresh though, not bleached. I use a matching set off a low 140s 10 pt. Nice, heavy, and loud.

I keep all mine. Have a pile in my garage. Billybob used a couple to make me four knives that turned out great. Pretty cool to have a knife that the handle came from a deer I took. I can still tell you the story of each deer.

As said before. I'll take any that no one wants. I make assorted things out em. Decorations and picture frames and such.

I also keep mine that I find and shoot.

Most of mine were cull bucks. I enjoyed having them but they started taking up a lot of space.



For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

My good ones are on the wall, the less-than-good ones go in a box in the garage or given to friends to use as rattling horns.

I keep em all. Ive made rattling horns out of them, hat racks/coat racks, and anything else you can think of.

I still have almost all of mine from when I was younger. Nowdays I keep the better culls for euros and the ones shot as trophies I have mounted. I have kept every shed I have ever found. They are for future reference and research.
