I mostly listening to my wife ask how many of those things you really need. A dedicated bookshelf in the corner of our family room hold many and the boys each have several lying around their rooms to rattle or day dream about. My brother has a nice stack of very large sheds lying on the floor in the corner of his dining room at his second house. This is hunt headquarters in spring and fall. These things get handle and talked about so much, compared to sightings in the same area or a deer we've take. They don't collect dust that’s for sure.
Do you think I should feel very sorry for my wife considering all the year of shed hunting the boy’s and I have head of us?
She really does enjoy getting out there with us.

I keep 3 or 4 of my best on top of the entertainment center in the front room. That is "MY" spot. There is a wooden wiskey barrel in the garage overflowing with the smaller ones, under 60 inches. The rest of them, over sixty in. are stacked in a pile in the trophy/game room. I wish I had a bigger house to display them but thats not in the cards. I don't even have room for my favorite deer mount anymore so it's on the wall at a local business here in town. So many antlers, so little space! Oh, allmost forgot, 15 or so on the floorboard of my suburban!
I have all mine piled on two 8-foot tables in my trophy room. I keep my bigger/favorite ones on one table and the rest on the other one.

This may sound odd, but I decorate my Christmas tree with my sheds. I just lay them on the tree branches, toss on some white lights, stick a few pieces of buck brush in for color and put a rusty metal star on top. It looks good to me and puts me in the Christmas mood. Then if I have a gal over and she turns her nose up at it, I toss her out and look for a more understanding type. I know this doesn't solve the problem as to what to do with them year round but it knocks out a month or so, and it starts me thinking about shed hunting again....

Rackaddict,
In your last couple of sentances, were you talking about women or antlers?
