Hi everyone. For the past several years I have made what my wife refers to as "deer camp party favors" for my 2 deer hunting buddies.
In the past I have made:
Walking sticks (sort of an inside joke, don't use them too much during the hunt)
Wooden mugs (these get a lot of use back in camp after the day's hunt)
"Bullet" pens (.308 cal. lower barrels & antler top barrels)
Deer grunt calls (these actually work pretty well)
Wood handles 6 way screwdrivers (the handles are made from Oak found on the farm where we hunt)
This year I am fresh out of ideas. Anyone have any ideas? These can be useful and practical items (like the calls & screwdrivers), not so practical but no less useful (like the mugs) or anything in between.
Deer season opens in 3 weeks so I need to get started on this year's projects.
I am open to any suggestions as long as some or all of the item is made of wood (turned or flat). Thanks!
