Artist to add designs onto bones
In August it will be time to dig up my moose scapula's out of the garden along with skulls, after the bugs have them nice and clean.
We got a big bull, cow and some nice bucks last season.
Would like to add wildlife art to the scapula's and then give as gifts to my hunting group buddies.
Likely will buy black moose decals from Amazon and stick on. Also will shape handle end to fit hand better plus add a deer leather string wrist strap to hang by.
Does anyone know if decals will stick well to bone?
Ideally if doesn't cost a lot, does anyone know of a good artist who is good at airbrushing wildlife art onto bone?
Would be ideal to have real art added to bone instead of a sticker.

Sorry-can not help with your question.
Can you please help out -how you do this burying technique,and how it works out at the end?
Especially-what to do against potential mold,mice damage and discoloration.
I know this is an age old terchnique,but never "met"someone actually having done it.
Few pictures of the outcome would be also greatly appreciated.
I am excited to learn something new...regards and thank you

I always cap the antlers off any buck I get, Skin it than bury it a couple inches deep. In late spring or now I take it out and it all clean. I bury them in pool area by the house, so no dogs can get at them. I have never had any issue with anything bothering them, but always a concern. Wash off dirt let dry then hang on garage wall.

I do exactly the same thing, works out great.
