Don't toss those deer anters

[TripleDigitRide]

I don't what what hunters usually do with the antlers, but I thought I'd throw this out there. If you are just going to toss them, I'll gladly take them. I usually buy deer and elk antlers for my dogs to chew on, so they will go to good use. I'm sure there are several other uses, so maybe everyone keeps them for something. Just thought I'd check.

My dog doesn't seem to like them. We bought her one and she loved it. After that one was gone we bought her another and she wouldn't touch it. Very odd.

Same here is anyone wants to send them my way. My boxer puppy just loves them.

I have tons of deer antlers. I have given many away here on TGO. They are used for buttons, knife handles, flint knapping and leather work. The bigger sets are good for deer hunters to "rattle antlers". The selling price is usually pretty good. All kinds of craft and primitive items can be made from them, let alone the fact that Koreans and Chinese say that antler tea is the best "Viagra" in the world when boiled and drank as tea. I've never tried it as I don't want to go to the ER if my junk don't go down after four hours. I'll take their word for it!

 

If someone needs some "buck horns" let me know, maybe we can work something out.

I wouldn't mind a set with 3 or 4 tines on each antler. I've been wanting to make my own antler lamp and convinced the wife I could make an antler wall sconce but I'm a couple antlers short and haven't seen a small 6 point to shoot yet this year.
