leg bones for bone points, intestines for bowstrings, brains for tanning the hide,tails and ears for war trophies (or hunting trophies) i have deer and elk ears hanging from my back quiver, my dad calls them "my scalps", hair for tying flies, ribs for fleshing knives. that's all i can think of at the moment

chamookman:
I've boiled Deer feet, and slipped the "Toes" (black part) off let "Em dry and You can make wind chimes/door danglers out of them. Bob

richardzane:
like Chamookman,
we boil the feet to slip the hooves to make "leg rattles" .

we longhouse people in Okl. pierce the tip and put leather through and knot it. a bunch are made this way and
these are tied through ankle or leg straps.    the sound is to imitate rain and sky noises during our spring ceremonial dances.

Pappy:
Most of the above. ;) ;D
