Handle Material
« on: August 13, 2013, 07:49:00 PM »
Our local District office of the Montana FWP had an auction this past weekend to get rid of horns, hides, and such. This stuff had been collected over the past few years from seizures, killed nuisance animals and I'm sure a hundred other reasons. I was able to pick up three sheep heads and a great set of elk horns that have some nice popcorny stuff on em. My biggest regret is being a poor boy and not taking a whole pickup load home. Opportunities like this don't come along often. Anyway here's a couple pics fore I take it to the bandsaw.

Great score Doug. There are some nice scales in there. I see several nice folder scales in those elk antlers.
Can't wait to see what gou come up with.
