spurs.....
 

how do you keep your spurs from discoloring?? the one i shot last year i cut above and below the spur and put a piece of leather lace through them and hung them with the beard and fan....and they turned whitish clearish.....i dont want the ones from this year to do that.....anything i can do? or does it just happen to them or what?? anything to make the color come back???? thanx alot......

I can't say I've ever seen that happen. Could you post a pic? I'm a little hesitant to mention anything that might help without knowing what your dealing with.

Hmmmm?
Did you remove the skin and remove the marrow with a pipe cleaner?

I put mine in Borax for a few days also, then lightly sand the edges of the bone with fine grit sandpaper. I've never had the spur itself bleach out.
