Pig hoof tip overlays?

[Apex Predator]

Anyone ever use the pet store variety chew toys for overlays?

Apex,
I have not used the "pet store" variety, but have used Wild Boar as well as Moose hoofs and both worked just fine.
Regards, Bert.

They also leave a nice pig sty smell to your tips     Seriously, all hooves stink when you cut them.  Domestic pig hooves really stink.

Maybe it would be a good cover scent?    It will be on my "Bloody Marsh" bow I am building, and be mainly for pig killin'.

Cant wait to see it Apex.

I have used them and they do stink when you work them.

Funny you ask about such a thing:  The other evening I was out in the garage grinding down a deer hoof for an overlay.  I shot the deer last fall.  Anyway, I've found out that the two bone runs pretty much all the way.  Not much left over for an overlay if I took the bone out.  
I've got to rethink that material for the application.

I searched a didn't find any last night.  I guess I'm gonna have to kill a big one for the hooves!  I used cow bone instead, and it looks great against the cedar.
