Hey Jay, Replica Antler Question

[Rusty]

There are companies that make replica antlers.  

 

1.  Can they make a match to an antler?  For example, we have the right side and need the left side.

 

2.  Is this something that you could take care of?  I would love to surprise her with a camo dipped skull mount of her buck.

I'm looking, but this buck covered a very large area and it's all thick woods.  Guys have pictures of him over a 3 square mile area.  A needle in a haystack would be easier to find.

We could,  but none of you would be allowed to leave alive.

Rusty I would think with the weather we had been having that bucks circle had tightened up.

They really like to lock down traveling .

I would bet his shed is pretty close to where she got him . Especially is he had recently dropped it

Making replica antlers is a pain in the azz. I know because I do it, and they are not cheap. I would suggest to you to get every friend, brother, cousin, and any convict out on work release to go look for the other side first.

Great idea and surprise for her. Hope you find the real

Define "not cheap".  

 

A single antler, 20" main beam,  G1-3s are 3", 10", and 7".  Bases are 5".

Do NOT give up on finding this shed yet. Unless someone grabbed it before you it most likely is there. Look someplace where you totally didn't expect it to be. May be surprised....

You can't really replicate a antler from numbers. You can make copies of antlers, but to make a whole antler from scratch is not financially feasible imo. You are better off finding a close match instead of trying to make one from scratch. That is why I suggested to you to get out there and find the other side. Good luck.

To make one from a trail cam pic and measurements will be several hundred $ and not sure the turnout would be great..

 

I've got an idea... I've never done it, but I think it would look cool..

 

Cut the skull in half from nose to back of head and mount it broadside on a mirror

That is a cool Idea:-)

The numbers were just to get an idea of the overall size.  The websites I've looked at say they charge by the inch.
