Okay, bring on the critiques, wife said "bizzarre and weird".

Seemed like a good idea at the time........tried to "save" as much of the natural antler base as possible. Antler off a small 2 year old bull (yes, he was tasty:D ).

Barry,

Now that's cool. I've been saving some deer antlers and was trying to figure out something to use the bigger parts for. This is a great idea. Even if the loyl doesn't like it, there are plenty of people who will.

OK, I have to admit, I like it, in a "Boy is that UGLY...........Kewl!!!!" kind of way :D

When I saw the subject of the thread, the first person I though of was you Barry :D

I mean..... who else :D:D:D

NEAT!

I like it, as said, it's ugliness is it's beauty.

Never eaten any moose. Haven't had any moose wine either but I'm willing to try anything once.

I like it even though it probably won't go over well with the hoity toity women's club around here for their wine and cheese party.

Just for the record.....and the Nor-easters will attest.......there are moose in places other than Alaska!........Moose IMHO of all the wild game species moose tastes the most like beef and I find it delicious!

I bet that would sell, espically at like a gun show. Very unique. Would probably look heavy on a wine bottle, but it would fit a whiskey bottle also. I like it! And moose, delicious, even better than elk.

Ken, had a sister-in-law that many years ago drew one of two moose tags issued (that year) in Idaho. She bagged a big one, ended up with article and pictures in Field and Stream or one of those mags.

Ya, we get moose in BC as well. When I was about 14 or so, one of my uncle bagged a big one (are there any other kinds?) and he got it at the bottom of a deep gully or ravine, took a lot of humping to get all that meat out of that deep hole, but we had steaks for a year :D

GOOD eating!
