I "think" this is a from a guy on the Maryland Whitetails website that made these. If anyone has an eye for this type of art/metal work....this might give ya some ideas. I seen pics of the buildup when it was just welded rebar in the shape of an antler. A welder, alot of grinding and a little imagination will get ya this. If I had the imagination and eye for art....some rebar muley antlers would be a cool metal project. You could probably sell them for a few bucks too.:-)

He should plant that out in the woods during shed season in a popular shedhunting area with a trail cam on it. Then hide in a blind nearby and observe the reactions. Encounter the hunter, interview for laughs, retrieve it, repeat. Would get some interesting footage.

I'd think he'd need more than a few "bucks" for time and effort. Nice work BTW.

That is super cool. I’d say 200 plus dollars of MIG wire there just for starters! The ideas a guy can pick up from Bowsite!

One of the coolest things I've ever seen! Any chance you have more pics? I would love to see more of the process or more finished pics.

Wow that is some crazy talent if that started off as welded rebar, cant imagine how much time and patience that took.

Due credit goes to a MWC poster named Smokepole...he designed and made it. He bent the rebar by hand. Here are a few more pics. Maybe he will inspire some of you guys to try something like this in a WT or muley. Elk antlers might be a little heavy though.
