Had to do a double take

(1/2) > >>

Otoe Bow:
I'm currently in Maine and I saw something I'd never seen before.  I saw a sign that said "wild blackberries" and "Moose Antlers".  I even turned around and went back to the road side stand with the signs.  Seems a guy collects moose sheds and sells them as a novelty.  Unfortunately the guys selling the berries were there (but hey I needed a snack) but the moose guy was not.  I got his card and I'll be going back in a few day. When I told the berry guys why I wanted a moose billet, he looked at me like I was from Oklahoma or something.

DanaM:
Ahhh Mike I think you are from Oklahoma ::) :)

Otoe Bow:
Come on Dana, does it show?  I thought I had y'all fooled.

D. Tiller:
Nah! We know your from Missouri!!! Kansass city?

Say, let me know how they are. I'm looking for a smaller sized moose billet and some tines.

Otoe Bow:
Wooo Hooooo.  :D  I got me a nice small single moose antler for $29.  It was this spring's shed and the guy actually saw it come off the young 2 year old bull so it's not chewed on, bleached or pithy.  It's even got  some pretty good mass at the base and should make a fairly nice billet (this time the moose guy knew what I was talking about).  One tine is a little messed up from rubbing or fighting but I think I can work around it.

When I get home, I'll post a picture.

D:  If you want I'll PM you the guys address and phone number.  Unfortunately he only had one other single, and it looked a little old and bleached.  It was bigger, but he wanted $37 for it.  He also had some nice and HUGE pairs.  They ranged in price from about $150 up to over $400.
