Hi all,

I've been lucky enough to shoot a small 11 point buck, and I've always wanted a Euro mount.

I spoke with one Taxi, who has a great reputation, and has won awards. She quoted me $75 for a Euro via boiling and chemicals. Another gentleman quoted me $40 with beetle use, and chemicals if need be. He's in a reputable sportsman's shop in the area, and appears to do good work (his examples anyway).

I have two questions.

1. What are thepro/con listsof beetle cleaning Vs. Boiling? I understand bones may get brittle during boiling.

2. I'm looking for places to view possible backings. I'd like to have a nice-finish wood that has the skull sitting out away from the wall, maybe with a photo incorporated. If you can send me to some Web sites I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
