RE: Save antlers?
I keep mine. I have yet to do anything with them yet, but I have them all, well except one pair that I lost when moving this summer some how[:@].
I have a hide that I had done a few years ago as well. I used it for a backdrop on my gun rack in my trailer when I moved in. Looks pretty cool I think.
I really don't have a desire to have a mount done though, then I haven't shot anything real big yet either. If it was more affordable I might consider it. However for 3-5 hundred bucks it is just not worth it to me. I can think of much better places to put that kind of money.
