Default Proper way to clean a mount....

I have a couple of bucks on the wall that are in need of a light cleaning. Any help would be appreciated.

Additionally, do I need to treat the nose? I've got one that looks like it's starting to dry out. No flaking or anything, just looks dry.

Thanks.....

take a feather duster and dust real good to remove the dust. then dampen a soft cloth with neatsfoot oil(just enough so you can tell it on the cloth) ( you do not want enough to wet the hair ) wipe with the hair lightly.
then put a drop on the nose and wipe lightly.
that should do it.

there are things that you can get from a taxidermy supply co. made just for cleaning and shining the coat of a mt.
