Euro Mount
 

Just thought I would share a picture of one of this years bucks.

I think it turned out good, It has the option of standing like you see it now, or switching around and hanging on the wall...which is what i am going to do with it just as soon asI find a place to hang it.

I had the mount done by a friend, he boiled it, then he sets it in a sack of salt I think (not sure though). After that he cleans out the nasal cavities by hand to make sure all the tissue and such is gone. Then he bleaches the skull, and then stains the bottom of the antlers. He does a good job.

This mount can be done very easily at home! All you need to do is bury the head and leave the tip of the antlers stick out of the ground! Wrap the tips of antlers with aluminum foil thus preventing rodents from chewing them. In the spring when the ground thaws it will look like its been bleached after you hose off the dirt. Ive done one like that and put it in a glass case with a nightlight and leaves and sticks and fake dirt looks real nice!

i see a place. . . just take down the picture of the light house.

I have done several of these as well. Although there are many methods to get the job done, I have had good luck using a combination of boiling and the car wash. I cut off all the tissue possible, the then boil the skull (outdoors - hot plate) for about 4 hours in a very strong solution of Boraxo. A heavy duty ten quart bucket works pretty well for a deer or antelope. Then I take it to the car wash and use the high pressure nozzle to blow everything out of the brain and nasal cavity. This should take only about ten minutes. Back to the ten quart bucket for a couple days of soaking in a strong Chlorox solution. Rinse and dry for a couple days. As a final step, I like to give it a very light flocking effect with antique white spray paint. Gets rid of that chalky white appearance.
