Spike Euro mount (Deer)
« on: March 03, 2011, 09:14:58 PM »
This is a blacktail I had tagged on the late hunt in 2009. I have never tried to do any euro mounts before but I decided to try with this guy. All I did was stripped of as much as I could and then put the head up in a tree in my woods out back for about 4 months. I then took it down and boiled the head for about 30 minutes. It cleaned up very easy. I then bleached it overnight. It didn't turn out really white but it turned out pretty good. I bought and used the Euro kit from Cabelas. It came with everything including the mount for around $50.00 if I remember right.

That is a HUGE spike.  I thought it was an elk at first.  Nice job.

Yeah its definitely the bigest spike deer I have seen. That is why I decided to do this. It was a fun, inexpensive project.

Nice looking mount. Looks more like a little spike elk than a blackie.

There are spikes and then there are SPIKES on steriods.  Congrats on a great mount!   :IBCOOL:

~  ~One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an *censored*."”

Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.
