I know there has been talk of european mounts lately, but here is my question. With my schedule, there is no way that i can devote the better part of a day to cleaning, boiling and bleaching the skull. I was wondering, i have a 7 pt, that i would like to do, and my friend also has one that his buddy is going to do for him, but he wants to wait for after the season to do them all together. I hear that if you bury the skull it cleans it up, but i was wondering, if i threw my skull in the pond that i live in, obviously with a rope attached to it, do you think the minnows, snails and other critters would pick it clean? i would say put it on an ant hill, but its just too cold here now to find any. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
