Question is, are they real deer hooves? I say yes.
On the internet I found:— Instructions on how to make a deer hoof gun rack— You can purchase a deer hoof coat rack (the lower portion of the deer&#8217;s leg, bent at the joint, and attached to a log)— A seller on eBay currently has a &#8220;VINTAGE VICTORIAN DEER HOOF PIN CUSHION, NICE&#8221; with a Buy-It-Now of $69.99— A deer hoof bottle opener from a German souvenir website
Reuse. Recycle.
