Default RE: Antlers. . .

Are you wanting the rack for a european skull mount? If so, the best way would be with beetles, that some taxidermist have or have to be sent off. Some people boil them, but it stinks pretty bad and can discolor. I just like to get a pair of plyers and knife and just work at the tough hide and peel it all off. Then you can bleach it or use other chemicals.

If you want a plaque mount, do the same except V-cut the antlers off. And remember, cut it at the angle you want it to sit on the wall. Either mount is not too hard to acomplish. If you want a full-shoulder mount, let the taxidermist do the work. Good luck.
