Ive recently had friends that know about my hide tanning and have even gotten buckskins from me before that was wondering if I could take deer feet and make a gun rack out of it, kinda like this...

If you put several deer legs, hoof pointing up, sticking out of a nice wooden pole with a nice heavy base, you'll get a pretty nice hat/jacket stand that'll make interesting conversation piece for...

Hahahaha, Foxfire! Great ideas! I might have to put them to use, a deer hoof handles are quite an idea, might have to try that after mounting squirrel heads on the wall.

XLB be very glad you don't have to skin, remove bones, etc. I just tried my first removing hoofs from the leg bone attempt last night ... quite a bit of work, especially if the legs aren't fresh!...

yeah, i tried to skin the hooves once to use as ornaments and just to see if I could figure it out... then i got frustrated and didn't want to do it again. LOL I haven't even worked on my feet project...

ok, back to the feet project! sorry for not keeping up with the forum or anything, been kinda busy around here. the deer feet are drying up nicely I'd say it'll be another week or two before they are...

I wonder if this would work for coyote paws as well. there maybe more fat and stuff in the paws. trying it though and well see

Idk, with the deer feet, all that was fat and stuff all kinda dried up and got hard and now the deer feet look and feel boney. I don't really mind the boney feel considering their purpose, but paws it...

Justin, I'd love to see if the coyote paws would work, If done right I'd wager that they'd turn just as nice as deer would.

If you're feeling humourous, mount some Greater Road Runner feathers and talons next to it. Speaking of which, how do they make them "lucky rabbit's foot" good luck keychain? Obviously not so lucky...

alright, so here's the feet. I ended up filing the remaining leg bone to try and get it flush as can be with the board. nothing done to them, just dried up and untied. the hollow of the remaining leg...

Excellent! Personally I prefer ruger .308 to AR-15, but that looks pretty damn sweet! The maggots might be a good thing to have, cleaning all decomposable tissues in the leg bone so it dries out good....
View ArticleRe: deer leg gun rack
yeah, my brother has a ruger scout in .308 and absolutely loves the thing. He says he wants a AR-10 next, (.308 on an AR platform) but I don't see it happening anytime soon. I thought the maggots...

Try putting them in a baggie with some borax or baking soda for a few days to get rid of the smellies. There's probably still some moisture and a bit of leftover tissues that the maggots didn't have...

I should try that next time... my mom says charcoal would work too, I would just worry about it staining the fur. BTW, would anyone know what these things sell for? My deer hide supplier tells me that...

Holy macaroni, $150 for all four feet? Imagine the deer foot door knobs will quickly have a following LOL. You should try getting it dried straight and making adapter to fit furniture leg into it....

Looks good. I have the coyote paws sitting in a bunch of borax. Well see how it goes.

JustinL, hope you'll post pics of the 'yote paws when they're dry! I bet they'll look pawsome. Are you just going to mount them on the wall for decor, or will they hold something up - like a stuffed...

I would imagine if you've got a large amount of silica gel drying agent, it would work well, too.
