by Dennis Walrod   A one-of-a-kind guide to the antlers of deer, elk, caribou, and moose.   There is no question that antlers are hot these days, with collectors paying top dollar for quality racks and everyone from hunters to hikers searching for them in fields and backwoods across the country.  Handicraft techniques have moved far beyond the basic trophy mount as well, and you can find antler knives, antler pipes, and even antler chandeliers in shops and homes.  Equal part natural history and instructional guide, this truly unique book offers a fascinating survey of all things antler, from their biology to their role in wildlife management to the sordid side of the antler boom. (Dubbed "the new ivory," they have a lively presence on the international aphrodisiac market.) It's also loaded with practical information and step-by-step instructions for collectors and craftsmen, designed to maximize the use (and profit) you can get out of your antlers. With chapters on: Measuring and scoring racks Mounting and display Collecting shed antlers Antler carving and fabrication The medical value of antlers Antlers and wildlife management Bonus! Includes Boone and Crockett score sheets for all North American species.   About the Author: Dennis Walrod lives, hunts, and writes in Western New York State.  He has written for over a dozen outdoor magazines, including Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, and Deer & Deer Hunting.  He is also the author of two other books, Grouse Hunter's Guide and Making the Most of Your Deer.   Softcover, 212 pages; 6'' x 9'' B&W Photos and Illustrations throughout ISBN 0-8117-2175-2
