Sheds...what to do with them?
 

I've been shed hunting for a few years now. It originally started as a scouting tool, then it was a collection to decorate the garage mahal, now its just something to do in the off season. I have antlers on the mantle, shelves, boxes, rattling antlers...etc. What do you do with all of them? I really enjoy finding them, but I don't want to box them up. I'm looking for a way to display them w/o making my home and office look like a bone yard.:D

I have made a couple of really neat knife handles with differnt racks. That is a nice way to spend some time and it uses up a few racks. Especially when you screw up;)

They sell on Ebay very well...check the legalities in your State..prior to selling Deer Parts.

Bloodcreek (Dan) had a rock he made for me displayed it in a photo resting on a shed. It's a beautiful way for the stone to be displayed.....IF I had a shed to use. I don't. If you have one you think might work for this that you'd be willing to part with....I might be a taker.

Just FYI.

Sell them to my brother, he's a knifemaker!

Another thing I'v eseen.....

I saw Rob Keck (sp?) NWTF.....cut one about 4-5" long. He then drilled a hole in it....and threaded a double strand of leather boot lace through the hole. He tied a knot in one end....and it makes a carrying loop for hauling your turkeys from the field. It's a really neat conversation piece.

there you go button- problem solved!

Thanks for the tips guys. I've thought about the knife handle idea before, also the cabinet handles,frame corners etc. I just haven't done anything with them. The bigger ones get displayed at work or home, other than that....they are just stacking up.[8D]

Heres a few from last march, mostly average sized sheds. All I've found was a dead buck so far this year.

Donate them to your local rodent dentistry clinic. They are always looking for them.

Dude I wish I had that problem, Ive found 1 shed antlerin the last 2 years. I'd love to have a bunch of sheds.

3 matched sets last year?!! That's impressive. I've never found a matched set. I basically suck at shed hunting.[&o]
