HA! Hope you have some Fabreeze!!!!
Beauty of a buck and looks like a perfect shot.
-
Great! We think alike. Always manage to use my featherburner in the house after me & Ruth argue. Makes her arguments much easier to comprehend.
Very nice deer!
-
She may e gone but if you think you are going to fool a ladies nose...Get the fans going.Prayers sent.
-
I don't know if I'd get away with that in the kitchen. And my wife is extrerely tolerant!
Good Luck anyhow!

Well she's home :scared: Looks like I'm buying dinner tonight ;)
I just removed the lower jaw and did some scraping.

After a couple hours of simmering.

That turned out great! I've always preferred a european mount. A whole lot cheaper too...
-
Lovely!
-
The wife's best pot'll clean-up no-worries, too, and she'll never know!
-
Thought you would mount that one!! Shawn
-
Stone Knife, That looks real nice. You put anything in the water?
-
Great buck. He sure will look great on the wall. Hope dinner out was good. I would never hear the end of it from my girl. I send mine out.
-
Thought you would mount that one!! Shawn
I have several deer mounted if I have another one done it will have to be over 140. my best friends dad was a taxidermist he died four years ago. He would do all my stuff for cost or we would trade work, now that he is gone and I would have to pay the full shot I'm going to be picky. I put baking soda and a little dawn in the water.
-
CONGRATS!! Thats a Fine Buck!!
-
Nice buck! I always told myself I would never pay to have one mounted but then I killed one that was almost 150. I had to do it but I don't know if I would do it again. A man can spend alot of money on that stuff and they don't look too much better than what you are doing. Good job!
-
great buck
-
Looks real nice!!! A little kicker near his base I didn't notice before. Congrats again on a beauty. Joe
-
James, that little sign on the wall in the first pic says Donna's Kitchen! You are one brave fella my friend. Lol! Great job on that head though. Congrats on a fine deer.

I see that sign in your kithen says "DONNA'S KITHEN"....You In BIG trouble mister.... :scared:
-
Dishwasher works better than the car wash.
Dishwasher aka, high pressure, heated de-greasing unit.
Deer skull, no worse than greasy pots.
-
Looks nice!
-
That will look great where ever you put it. On a table , on the wall.....more versatile than a regular mount ....really neat :thumbsup: !
-
I see, but that is your best Traditional kill. Hope you shoot a bigger one real soon, I like the European mounts anyway, I have 3 done that way and they are nice!! Shawn
-
just out of curiosity, how much is a regular mount?
Are there multiple ways or more expensive ways? Except a full body mount of course..
We have a lot of mounts , especially birds of all kinds and my father always says they're priceless because you're no longer allowed to shoot most of the species. At least in Germany.
-
I generally save that operation for the gas grill outside. If she stinks up the house using the oven self-cleaner that's one thing, but me cooking a skull on the stove never seems to work out well:-(
-
That looks great. I really like the look of European skull mounts, and you can't beat the price.
-
I do all mine that way, but the basic rule is it's never in the house. Outside on the Coleman only. I find there is more than a slight odour associated with the process...
You did a nice job, though.
-
Mount looks good, I'd pass on the soup though...
-
Gee Larry you know your welcome any time.
Here's my wood I like to recycle old stuff so I'm using the wood from this chestnut bench that was built in the 30's. I'm going to use all of it after it's disassembled but trying not to cut it because I want to keep the integrity of the original builder's work and I want all the edges to have the original patina. My Howard Hill and a flintlock will hang off another set of antlers I took with a Longbow, with the skull on the top.

OMG! Don't do a thing to that bench! I've got the perfect place for it....... :rolleyes:
Nice job on the buck. I dig those euro mounts.

Looks Great Jim :thumbsup:
-
Nice job!!!!
Bisch
-
lookin good! i use a different method with less work and it takes a bit longer but they come out really good so far!
-
I do that outside - my wife would not be happy with that smell in the kitchen. :eek:
-
Godd job looks good.
