Title: antlers outside
Post by: rosscrazyelk on April 21, 2009, 03:15:54 PM: I have heard rumors that they make something you can put on antlers so they wont bleach out if you hang them outside. Is this true?

(several times). It has lost some color, but it doesn't show any signs of weathering or sever bleeching. It's watered constantly and right in the sunny flower bed. just my :twocents:
