Shoulder mount on the buck?

The doe still has some summer hair, but the buck doesn't. Kinda weird. Pretty big doe too!

I wanted to do a shoulder or European mount but am saving up for an AR so maybe next time.

Euro is an easy do it yourself project if you don't have the extra cash to have it done for you.

I have a head that I'd like to mount European style. Do you boil or bug them?

I am in Kensington and very interested.

Bugs are the best way to do it.

boil

Bugs are the best way to do it.

Most bug guys(and gals) boil first, then let the bugs loose on'm.

Not any of the bug people I know. They strip the bigger hunks of meat off, remove the eyes, and ream the brain out first, and some will semi dry the meat. When the skulls are cleaned by the bugs, they degrease them, sometimes by soaking for a month or more in a dawn soap/water mix that gets changed out often (less time for deer, more time for bear and other greasy animals). Final step is whitening in peroxide.

Another method of non-boiling is maceration which is trimming off as much flesh as possible, removing eyes, and reaming the brain, then soaking in plain water for days or weeks depending on the water temp and size of skull. The meat rots off into goop and the skull is very clean when done. It's VERY stinky. Rinsing the goop off and then degreasing/whitening, and some air-out time.

Almost time to put away the twang and break out the bang.

I suspect we'll start seeing more kill shots on here.

Be careful not to burn out your area too early in the season. I generally don't get serious about bow season till late October. I'm primarily head hunting but, it's the cooler weather that spawns heavier deer activity. Things should break loose soon.
