Euro Mounting Options
« on: October 16, 2016, 06:00:30 PM »
I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a cheap place to get a blacktail skull, euro mounted? Also what would be a good price for something like this?

Roughly $125. Any taxidermist in your area should be able to do one. Heck if you have a pot and a pressure washer you can do it yourself for $20. Plenty of YouTube and posts online with directions. You really can't screw it up. If you find a taxidermist that uses beatles to clean the flesh they turn out better in my opinion but boiling and pressure washing works fine.

I will give it a try! It's my GF's first deer ever (a spike) so I can't afford to screw it up!

Do it yourself unless you are in a rush.  Ive done two deer, and two elk.  Actually got a bull going now.  There is a thread on here that is a few years old that will give you step by step.  All you really need is a fish tank heater.  Maybe 40 bucks.  Get one that will kick out some heat though.  200-250 watt.  toss head in a bucket and fill with water.  in two weeks all the flesh will fall off.  Dump water, clean bucket fill with water some dawn soap, and water up to antler burs.  Every 5 days dump water and refill with fresh water and more soap.  Repeat until skull is white with no grease spots showing.

be careful not to boil, especially on a young animal it may fall apart.

I'd like to euro mount the buck I got this morning. I'm a little pressed for time the rest of the weekend. If I freeze the head now and finish the process later will that effect anything?
