Prep work for an antler mount ?

[elksnout]

I apologize if this has been asked before. I got a decent blacktail this year and would like to mount it on a wall plaque myself. What is the proper way to prep the skull so all the meat and tissue is off of it? Boil it?

if you are just doing a antler mount you can just boil it, and wire brush it off/pick the meat off.

Add a little 20 mule team borax into the pot, it helps!

Sal soda will clean it up nicely.

You can boil the meat off.  Should only take a few minutes and it isn't going to hurt the skull cap.
