Euro Mount with pics. (Plaque finished and on the wall)
« on: Mar 03, 2013, 05:46:14 PM »
Some may have seen the thread where I found a good dead 8pt while shed hunting. I decided I was going to do my first DIY Euro mount on him. It was a nasty/smelly job he had maggots all in his skull when I cut the hide off. I was able to get most of the stuff out before boiling it. Only had to boil it for about a half hour since the maggots helped me out. I got lucky and the skull stayed in one piece only thing missing was one tooth. Which was missing when I took the hide off the skull. I read on another site about guys using flat white spray paint on the skull instead of the peroxide paste. So I decided to go that route with Spray Kilz. I havent put the tape to him yet but I will do that soon. Any guesses? For comparison I am 6'1 205 lbs. Going to make a plaque for it out of old barn wood next weekend. Here are some before, during and after pics.
