pronghorn skull mount
I cleaned, boiled & whitened the buck skull, like i do for deer skulls, it looks great. My concern is i didn't remove the horns from the skull protrusion, it's still solid, but i'm wondering if it will eventually emit a stink from between the skull & horn? I might have to pull them off, clean and glue em back on, but hoping to avoid that if not necessary, thanks for advice.

I would definitely pull the horns and clean. A little putty to keep the loose horns from moving looks nice and a small brad discreetly placed through a small hole drilled in the horn will put everything back together nicely.

I would be concerned with bugs as much as stink. I would guess you probably have other mounts around. The last thing you would want is to attract bugs to the area.

Well so far so good, no stink no bugs, i never had a problem with bugs on my mounts livcoop? I think the dry heat of my wood fired basement make's a difference? The Pronghorn skull mount is looking beautiful!

It sounds like you got away okay without pulling the outer sheaths the way pronghorn are supposed to be done, but as the other guys have mentioned that's not the norm to leave them on and hope for the best like you've done. The 3 I've taken were all done the proper way and it was very simple and left no doubt that there would be no smell, bugs, etc. PS: That is a nice buck and it's too bad they don't consider width as part of the score.
