Right on! I've got one with red antlers too. Alder bull I believe. Rubbing on fir gives them that dark almost black antlers (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Congrats.

Yeah, there's a lot of alders in the area.  It is a really pretty color.

I just started working on the skull today.  I forgot how big these creatures really are.
