If you arelooking for easier ways, taxidermy is not for you. It's a lot of work and dedication to get quality.

Vandykestaxidermy.com They have kits for different mounts. They are owned by Cabelas now. As do a lot of other taxidermy Co's. Do a Google search.

Because you weren't specific enough with your question. Tanning and mounting a deer is not easy. Now as far as euro mounts, there are easy ways to do that. You have about 3 options, beetle clean, maceration, boiling or burial. Let's look at these options.. Beetles are the best but not easy to keep up with. They require constan temp, high humidity, lots of care. Boiling.... Probably the easiest but stinks and can damage your skull. If you overboil, you will ruin it. Burial... works great when it's summer but you have to make sure that animals can't get to it and drag it off. I prefer maceration. Take a bucket and put your skull in it, fill with water until it just covers your skull, put lid on, punch hole in and leave it for a couple of weeks. If you want to speed the process up add RidX. Drawbacks is in the winter, it'll freeze and you really don't want to be downwind of it in the summer. And thanks for your little comments and glad I can help.

I did the Euro mount with the boil. Many times during the process I just wanted to do something else though. It stinks to high heavens so be ready if you choose this one.
