Default Before And After

Here is something to think about before you shoot that buck, this coming deer season.This is an inexpensive way to mount your trophy.
Both of these deer I did myself over the winter. It helps with the old cabin fever.

Yeah, my father and I did the same to a few bucks this past year as well. I've tried countless ways to do it from chemicals to boiling. I found the easiest was actually the most straight forward. I simpley cut off what I could with a knife, scored the remaining meat and sinew that was left on the skull and then simply powerwashed it ! After it was clean a little soaking in hydrogen peroxide and it was done. It was actually easier than most times I have boiled off a simple skull plate.

I have an even easier way. Living 100yds from the salt water I just put them in a lobster car and let the crab,lobsters and sea lice do their thing. Makes me realize that if you fall over board they sure won't pull up much in a week or so. ARG....>>>>>>>>>>&gt ;>>Whack!

Nice product you got there though!!!

I've done a few by the simmering method. It takes a bit of time and patience. If you're married and want to stay that way, DO NOT simmer it inside the house! The smell is unique to say the least.

It's not quite as easy as that link says.
It goes like this:
simmer, rinse, scrape, pick,
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
Simmer, rinse, scrape, pick
eventually, you get all the meat, sinew and cartilage off then you soak it in peroxide (don't get peroxide on the antlers) for several days and it comes out looking great.

If you've been married for 20 years you should definately do it in the house. Great results!
