Bionic,

No, both of those deer were taken in Rhinebeck Ny where I grew up and still hunt.

Here is the report from this year...

Can you guys please explain how you remove all of the cartilage in the nose and the brains out? Also how do you degrease? thanks

Those european mounts look great thanks

RE: Euro mount pics?
 

the cartilage i remove with pliars and surgical forceps, the brain i let cook for a while and then i have a stainless wire with a hook on the end that iyse to pull the brain out. a garden hose will get the remainder out. i add a little dishwashing soap while cooking to degrease.

I dont have pics, but my taxidermist slices the skull down the center with a saw zaw eliminating the jaw all together , makes it lay flat, looks cool.
