Whitetail Deer HuntingGain a better understanding of the World's most popular big game animal and the techniques that will help you become a better deer hunter.
I posted this in the taxidermy forum, but thought some of you might like to see it. This is the buck I took during the '06 firearms season. I shot him at a little over 50 yds. with a T.C. Encore pistol chambered in .454 Casull.

Very nice. I see that you have another Euro mount on the back wall. Did you do the work yourself or have it done at the taxidermist? I bought a kit from Cabelas but haven't had the time to try it on my buck from last year yet..
Thanks for the compliments guys.
gutshotem-I have done five myself. The one in the pic, the one in the background, one more for myself, and two for a friend.
Big-I flesh the skull out as much as possible first. Getting as much off at that step is really a time saver later. Then I boil the skull in water mixed with a little soda ash or dish soap. While I am doing that I scrub it with a stiff bristol plastic brush. Once it is as clean as I think I can get it, I rinse it off and let it dry for a couple days. Then I soak it in the peroxide that you get at beauty salons and scrub it with a tooth brush. After it is very clean, I rinse it with cold water and let it dry for at least three days. The final step is sealing it with satin lacquer.
