Chew it off. Your missus or if you don't have a missus, your hand will thank you for doing so.
Failing that a Water blaster works.

Its no record beater...but its the first time I've ever been hunting for them, so I consider myself lucky.

Huge thanks to DP who gave me the ''Rusa hunting 101'' lesson on how to find them.

Nice one kimjon!!!!!
Easy mate, just run a knife along the antler and peel the strips off, takes a long time but its worth it. It will be white underneath so you may want it stained if you're going to get it mounted.
well done its not to bad for a first hunt:huh:
Way to go Kimjon
