Prep work for an antler mount ?
« on: November 21, 2010, 07:31:01 PM »
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?
Can't we all just get along?

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!
Nothing witty here.... move along.

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.
