Anyone know where I can find horn crown right now?

Anyone know where I can find some horn crown for a handle like below?

Im pretty sure I've looked everywhere, but I just cant seem to find any good peices. The very few that I have found have been too small. I would like a peice big enough for a Bowie. Thanks in advance for any help.

That appears to be a stag crown. Check Alpha Knife Supply:

Moscow Hide and Fur is another place. They generally carry Moose, white tail and mule deer, and elk. Maybe even caribou.

BTW, deer species have antlers, not horns.

Doug - I know, as soon as I submitted the thread I figured someone would point that out, but looking around the interweb this is the only thing i saw it labelled as or labelled as stag crown so I thought it was a knife making thing. .

Crex - Lifelong deer/duck hunter who moved to the city for money. But I do have a box of sheddings but they are just not big enough for what i want.

I would kill to live in a place like Ricky_Arthur.

Thanks Ray and everyone else for yall's help.

I just wish that he would put pictures of all the pieces that he has on line like Alpha Knife Supply does so that you would be sure of what you're getting.

Has some of the best around for a good price

For American antler/stag as noted Moscow Hide and Fur but also check out Eidnes Furs http://www.eidnesfurs.com/

Dem aint horns. Dem is antlers. Call em right. Horns keep on growing for the life of the animal, Antlers are shed every year.
