Rattling Antlers

[rcsaddles]

Thanks, everyone. I talked to the guy that sent them to me and he was very pleased with them. I told him I would be happy to do this to all the antlers he could send me. I think I will get a set and make for him to display in his store. Anyone know where I can buy shed antlers?

You could try Moscow Hide and Fur in Idaho

Moscow Hide and Fur, Etsy sellers, Chichester Inc., and check with any nearby taxidermists/game meat processors.

Also, I don't know what the laws are in your state, but in mine, If I wish to buy whole or mostly whole antler, they must be a shed (button is intact). If the antler is attached to any skull portion or been sawn off, it has to have an interstate game tag (runs about $8 in most states, I think). Once made into an object (mount, decoration, furniture, carvings, etc.) the interstate tag no longer has to be attached, but should be kept by the buyer (me), along with sales receipts from both the seller of the raw antler and the end buyer, in case a question ever arises as to where the antler came from.

No question about it, I prefer to buy sheds with intact buttons, or antler pieces (which do not require game tags, just a receipt).
