RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

All my horns have ended up on my wall. Not really a trophy hunter but It seems a shame to let them sit in a garage when I could have them up on display.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I have only got one buck so far....im 15....he scored 124" and he was a perfect 8pt.....im getting a shoulder mount

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

One shoulder mount on the wall now. One at the taxidermist that I should get back in march. Two on plaques hanging on the wall. Two cut off for rattling and a bunch hanging in the garage on nails. That's about it.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I'm gonna keep all the racks I get, just to look back at all of my deer. I have both of my rifle racks mounted and in my room.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I normally don't even keep most of them.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

have a few on the wall, have given a set of bou antlers away. Have both my whitetail bucks waiting to go on the wall not to mention the moose sheds we have hanging up for looks (until I finally get a biggun LOL).

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I display all my antlers in one way or another. I am proud of all of them!

TAKE YOUR KIDS HUNTING AND YOU WON'T BE HUNTING FOR YOUR KIDS

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I've given a few of my moose and caribou antlers away when I lived in Alaska. A lot of people wanted a rack on their cabin and I had a few hanging around in my garage not worthy of mounting. Some used a palmated moose antler to display their house number/address. My dad still has a small 43" moose I shot that had a perfect rack to hang hats on in his garage.

As far as whitetail, I use one for rattling and have given a few others away to hunting partners or just thrown away the forks and spikes.

My wife would kill me if I allowed too many things to collect around the house. She had a fit when I kept the feet of the two turkeys I shot last year and saw my son and a neighbor kid running around the yard with them!!!

gave em all to a friend to use for knife handles and such, which he in turn sold to feed his family.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I've killed about 20 bucks...all of which I still have. I have 4 8pts and 2 9pts on plaques...the others are here and there on boards and tacked up in our skinning building.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I am only 15. i just killed my first deer this year. a non typical 16 point i am geting him shoulder mounted

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I keep all my antlers. I have 2 bucks mounted and 3 on placks and also a few sheds that I found.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I got tired of the "Plaques" as well......the last 5 years or so I've been fooling around with "European" Skull mounts.... and putting them on pedestals. They look very classy and are a great conversation piece.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I figure if it is big enough to kill, I should be proud enough of it to mount at least the antlers. I have 6 rack mounts and 1 head mount in my livng room. My son has a few racks in his room. My mom and dad have a few of mine as well as my Grandmother and a few cousins. I also have a rack in my basement and a hide in my freezer I am thinking about shoulder mounting my self. I do my own antler mounts and most of my friends. I even made a few dollars last winter by charging a very small sum to mount 21 racks for a guy I work with.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

We moved 4 times in the last 5 years and haven't saved any racks . I have a 8 and 9 point I got this year but nothing big .

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

have a couple shoulder mounts in the sun room also three on plaques.the odd racks,(like four on one side and spike on the other,twisted horns and the like)they are in a cabinet.
all the others are in my shop,a pile that will fill a pickup bed.
not bragging just a collection over the last fourty years.



I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

If their not bigger than the ones on my wall, I watch them walk by and say. See ya next year.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

Drive them around on the car.stick them out the windows. Set them on my house roof.Hangthem om the outhouse door

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I just now got finished mounting my 9 point Rack of the Buck I killed this year.
It's very pretty looking. I found me a slab of Red Oak laying in the woods I hunt. Was cut with a Chainsaw. I brung it home... sanded it down a bit. Then put polyurethane over th wood. I also put red denim around the skull plate. Will post pics next week!
I am in the process of paying a guy to make me a fixed blade Knife out of a smaller 6 point I killed in '96.
I am also mounting my 2000 Spike... pretty neat looking. I sold another small 6 to a fella. And I had a small 3 once... that was all chipped and broken. I did'nt bother saving that one.
Just wait till I post the pic of this years mount...

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

so far all except for one, get put on the outside wall of the the storage shed,along with other stuff like antique tools, washboards, brass moon hubcaps from old chevys, old licence plates....ect

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

use to hang them in are cabin ontill one spring we came up ,and some low life broke in and stole all of are antlers.now just keep them in my shed.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

Well, 15 of them or so are nailed to an old club house in Georgia. I have a few hanging around in the basement or garage. I have a couple mounted on boards. I have a couple shoulder mounts and the rest I saw off and hang in a tree in the back yard for the squirrels to gnaw on. Some I just threw away. I'm not really a horn collector.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

Grind them up into a fine powder,and sprinkle it on my cereral in the morning.(Deeramucial)JUST KIDDIN!I remove the racks and toss them in a green duffle bag,in my shed.I offered them to Cardeer to help out with the necklaces,but he has to harvest the bucks himself.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

left mine on the deer this year !!

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

MOst of mine are on a plaque of some type, except for the latest 2, which I did the whole skull thing. Since I have recently moved I don't have them on display yet, but once things get settled more they will all be on display in one way or another.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

Ive accumulated about 30 sheds and a few winter kill/roadkill bucks and ive found all kinds of neat things to do with them. I have made a dream catcher with one and used a set of matching sheds for curtain holders(draw the curtains back and holds them in place ,used them for rattling antlers and i am hoping to collect enough of the smaller antlers to use as kitchen cabinet and drawer pulls and drawer pulls for the end tables in the living room, and did a arrangement of turkey and pheasant tail feathers that looks kind of like a floral arrangement with some antlers in it.Thinking about making some candle holders also. So much to do and and so little time to do it when your hunting all the time. Seasons almost over so i guess its time to get busy<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I have a couple sets mounted on plaques and the rest I use for towel/clothes hooks in my sauna at camp. I have one set with the skull intact on the ridgepole of the sauna - it covers up the fact that the two facia boards don't quite meet perfectly <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

i have only got one deer but the shed antlers i find i set up on our gun cabinet

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

Lets see. I made a cool antler mount, it has two mounts for antlers at the top, MY BIG DEER, then I took a set of my smaller antlers, cut them at the bases and fixed them on the bottom of the plaque to hold my gun. It looks really good. The rest are just sitting in a crate in my storage room waiting for me to make plaques.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

Never shot an animal with horns. But I have 3 deer antler displays in the house, one shoulder mount, one skull mount, and one set of antlers mounted to a plack.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

I've made a gun rack out of a nice big 6'er. It would be cool to have one of those chandeliers made out of antlers. ANyone seen that in the bass pro magazine.

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

Georgia deer are a little smaller so
I just make key chains out of mine. ha ha

RE: What do you do with your horns?
 

If it makes 120 class I usually put them on a plaque and if it's a real big one I'll mount it. But there is a couple piles of antlers in the shed that are about waist height from my brothers, dad, and myself, and shed antlers.
