That is a shame. Any indication how it died? Good luck with the skull.

im not too sure how he died i saw him in youth season and shot at him from 50-60 yards and missed by a mile (not trying to make excuses but i misjudged the yardage at the time and remingtion sluggers only go to like 40 yds before they drop) i saw no blood trail whats so ever and looked for a real long time. my guess is got shot by someone went on our land and couldnt find em. i couldnt tell the yotes found him

so should i boil the water with the borax?
sorry to get off topic but when is a good time to use rattling antlers? and how do i use thme?

Boil the water with liquid dish soap and get the meat loose, then power wash the skull. Whe the skull is clean, make a paste with borax and peroxide and paint it on the skull. Leave the paste on 24 - 36 hours and rinse.

Full euro is a pain on one you didn't kill. I would do a half euro, whack off the top from the front of the nose through the bottome of the eye sockets,flesh it out, boil it 2-3 hours and whiten if you like, I prefer to keep the skull it's natural color looks mean and lean
