Displaying Shed Antlers
« on: January 31, 2010, 02:25:00 PM »
Hi Guys,

Moved into a new house and just redid the recroom (Manroom). In the last house I had a 10" shelf all around the room. Made a great spot to display my shed antlers.

 

How do you guys display your sheds without lots of shelving? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, Frank

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

I have a few on the buffet in the dining room, they are laid around a oil lamp and even my wife thinks it looks good!!!

Here is a little biologist's trick for ya.

Get some chicken wire and t-posts put them in Zig-Zag pattern. Place corn in the inside corners. when bucks get down to get the corn the chicken wire will snag the antlers. if they are getting lose the will fall off right there.

Not the best pick but I plan on putting several of my paired sheds and some of my bow killed racks on these wooden skulls.
 
I think they look pretty cool!!!

These sheds were found near my house and a rifle hunter shot him that fall.
 
Better look at the wooden skull, This one is made out of maple.

Looks a whole lot better than a skull plate too I think.

Van Dykes taxidermy sells them, Hand carved and under $40. You can make everything else on your own for pennies worth of wood.

The come in Maple and Walnut you stain and varnish them yourself.  :bigsmyl:
