my last post on this topic
ive stained and airbrushed repo's before... drop one of the repo's on cement and see what happens...
put repo next to real antlers..
all repo bases are sim... not like real antlers... have a plain feel not a wild..bumpy feeling....
they are what they are.. fake
what do you think of a corvette??? now what do to you think of a fake corvette???
see where im at...
good profit... terrible look..feel... and color
all colors look the same...
my 2 cents

Runko,
When is the last time you have seen or layed hands on a replica??? I have tested mine, I have dropped them from chest height and they did not!!!!!!! break or chip. You must have had some made from inferior material. As far as fake in the burrs or anywhere, you dont know what you are talking about there either, the replica is an exact copy down to every last detail there is on the real antler.
Personally i do not know a single person that is just going to buy a big replica and say that they have shot it, maybe that just happens in your neck of the woods. And I also think you that you are not a happy person and you have to complain about things to make you feel better. It really doesnt matter if someone wants to buy a replica or not, its your choice if you dont want one but everyone else has a right to do what they want.
Anyways I guess im just trying to explain something to a brick wall here, so I will stop here and go get some work done, but try and have a good day anyways.

Just one more thing, I can mount two deer heads one with the real antlers and one with a replica and you will not be able to pick which one is which you would have to guess, as far as the coloring goes most of the time i will have 4-5 colors in on rack, so no it does not look all the same.

If you want to count from the beginning of starting with the rubber and making the mold to finished product it was around 20-24 hours of actual working on it time. Antlers itself close to 5 hours.

A friend of mine that does taxidermy is the best I know and he has never won an award. I would take my deer to him before anyone else no matter how good they are.. Because I know he takes his time and does everything right.
Also, people who win awards take their deer to shows... maybe he doesn't..
