Chew it off. Your missus or if you don't have a missus, your hand will thank you for doing so.

Failing that a Water blaster works.

Its no record beater...but its the first time I've ever been hunting for them, so I consider myself lucky.



Huge thanks to DP who gave me the ''Rusa hunting 101'' lesson on how to find them.

Nice one Mate well done!!! looks like a beaut!!.

Nice one kimjon!!!!!

Easy mate, just run a knife along the antler and peel the strips off, takes a long time but its worth it. It will be white underneath so you may want it stained if you're going to get it mounted.

I think you're supposed to wrap the strips round yer old feller, or eat it or something . . . .

well done its not to bad for a first hunt
