Title: doing it myself euro
Post by: wilsongideon on June 28, 2013, 09:48:24 PM: I am slowly working on my deer from last year, got him cleaned up last year he set all winter. And after doing alot of research on this site, I am degreasing him now and he is starting to look pretty good i think. I simmer/boiled him because I live in town and dont have a great place to do any other way myself. Its gratifying to work on your own mount I guess and I cant wait to hang him on the wall.

Much easier than the roaster pan on the stove. ;) Saves on the old pocket book too, I did mine for under $30 including the plaque.

Buck looks great!!! :tup:

If you have trouble getting that super white skull a coat of flat white spray paint works great.
