Staining some antlers
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.

Still looks good this morning. I don't think he would have made it through the winter. He really just looked and acted defeated and I'm guessing by his antler growth he had not been doing real well for awhile.
