Antler

I found an antler and it has a pungent smell. Does any one know of any way to get rid of this smell?

So far I've poured boiling hot water of them scrubbed them and sanded them lightly. Also today I let them soak in water with detergent and then added disinfectant to them in the bath. As I was letting some water run off some sort of liquid started to seep out the end of the antler where it had fallen off.

Any sort of information could be helpful. I want to keep them inside and use them as a coat hanger.

Baste them in the urine of a field rodent.

Glade?

Drakkar Noir

have you spoken with your local neighbourhood taxidermist ?

from the websites i've visited a 30 - 40 min boil seems like the way to do it

Addison Lee are highly recommended by LFGSS riders.

Try soaking them them in a bucket of Milton sterilising solution overnight.

from the websites i've visited skull collection i've been slowly amassing, a 30 - 40 min boil seems like the way to do it

hmm, the problem is actually boiling them I could only fill a bath full of pre-boiled water.

What do you want to do with it/them? They all smell but it does reduce with time. Try the Milton fluid but it might bleach some colour out of it. If you're not in a rush to do something with it then leave it outside where it can't be carted off by foxes or strays. Then go back to it after a week, month etc and see how it smells. You can buy antler smell for training dogs to retrieve so it is clearly a distinctive smell.

they seem to be used as dog chews quite a bit

you got a dog ?

:(

:(

this cracked me up ahahahahaha

haha, I want to use it as a coat hanger so it would be in my room. Ill varnish so surely that will reduce the smell again. Ill leave outside for a month or so and keep smelling it haha
