Snow Camo Whitetail Skull
 
Snow Camo Whitetail Skull finished today. These Camo Skulls are a Hot item this year !!

That is really nice!!, it gives definition to the skull, is it a difficult process? I had never seen this before (but that is not unusual). Taxidermy, just like most things, keeps getting better & better,Doc

New Camo Skulls Added
 
Here are some new pictures of Camo Skulls we just did.
Just thought I would show some different examples besides just the Snow Camo I originally posted.
Some have the teeth not done in Camo and some do, just depends on how each client wanted them done. I prefer not to camo the teeth but to each his own.
Thanks.

what would a deer skull go for without the teeth done

I am really getting to like that style, it takes taxidermy to a new level. I think it is really going to become popular. The antlerd deer is outstanding (at least to me) I wonder what a big tusker (hog) would look like? Thanks, Doc

DocD, you are right, these are a very hot item right now ! We do alot of these anymore.
We have some more that will be done soon, I don't remember for sure what all is in the next batch but I do know there is atleast one Warthog. I will post pics of the Warthog for you to see. I think that is the only "hog" in the next batch.

i like the one that looks like a cornfield. im definitely getting that done if i get a buck next season.

some of them i like.not a big fan of the first pattern.maybe its just how the photos took but some of the patterns look like they didnt set all the way or got washed in the rinse. ive been dipping for a year at home and finding proper base coats, timing, temperature and different activators are a pain to formulate but ive made every mistake and just about got it down now .

Are you using this kit when you do your dippings? - www.camodipkit.com - some of the patterns look the same.

I got a european mount done a couple of years ago with the beetles. The skull is now starting to turn yellow. Is there a solution i can put the skull in to whiten it back up?

If the skull does not have a urethane clear coat, then chances are the yellow discoloration is the grease seeping out of the skull, this happens over time. Whether it was beetle cleaned or otherwise.

If you want to try and degrease and whiten the skull yourself, be careful what you experiment with and how you do it, as certain methods and solutions can actually bring more grease out and further discolor or damage the skull and you may be disappointed with the results.

"Do Not Use Caustic Solutions" on your European Mount. Here is a good rule of thumb that you should consider: "If you can't use the solution on your hair, your teeth or your fingernails without damage, do not use it on skulls, bones, horns or antlers."

I've actually had good results, putting skulls in a window (indoors) with direct sunlight and allowing the sun to degrease and bleach the skull over time. Cover the antlers with a cotton pillow case to keep the sun from bleaching the color out of them.

Good Luck
