This old guy was in rough shape. Skinny and just not doing well. I watched him from my stand one evening all evening and came back the next morning to hunt and he was still there and didn't seem to have much hope so I went ahead and tagged him.
Anyway that has been about 7-8 years ago and he has been hanging on the shed every since and for some reason I just decided to stain his antlers today and it actually turned out pretty good.(I was already started when I decided to take pictures)
I thought some might be interested in the results. I just used some old wood stain I had laying around.
