Vicente announced his good fortune and asked:

Phlip should jump all over this one for you and the rest of your

> What other inedible parts of the deer can be used, assuming that my
>friend wants to keep the antlers as a trophy? More specifically,
>which bones can be used for buttons or other jewelry, and how should
>they be treated?
You need this book:
Bone, Antler, Ivory, and Horn: The Technology of
Skeletal Materials Since the Roman Period.
>(Oligatory food content) Are there any tasty bits that I should ask
>for, aside from the usual roasts and steaks? (I'm going to try to
>talk him out of the shanks.)
Ask for the Spencer Rolls!
Hope this helps,
