Had a buddy bring me his muley from the early muzzleloader season to euro for him. Turned out pretty good I suppose, I'm still working on my tactics and recipe so stay tuned for the other two!

Keep degreasing its not ready for peroxide

Any tips on degreasing? I use dish soap and a brush. Thanks for the input!

Soak it in a bucket with a fish tank heater and Dawn Ultra dish soap for a couple of weeks before you bleach. You can see from the pic that there is still grease in the skull in front of the antlers. It will make a huge difference. :twocents: I made the mistake of rushing my daughter's first buck and didn't degrease it long enough and after sitting in a warm house for a few weeks, the grease started working it's way out, even after I clear coated it. :bash:

Yeah I use dish soap and some arm and hammer baking soda in a pot and let it soak for a few days at least. That helps it from turning that yellow color after a few weeks or more on the wall. Looks great on the wall though. Tpetie Is that one of those horn hookers? What do you think? Is it adjustable? Hypothetically could you have the buck angled facing down a little more? Just curious because Id like to try one on my next euro. Thanks :tup:

Thanks a lot fellas! Appreciate the help. I'll try that for future reference on my skulls and update with more pics. As far as the skull hooker question that's exactly what it is. And yes there is 4 holes that the hooker can be placed in for different angles on the wall. All it is, is a bolt and nut going through the two plates to hold it. Very simple design. I'm going to take it down to the machinists at my tech school and have them make me some duplicates! :chuckle:

Where can you purchase those skull hookers?

I purchased this one at Cabelas. I'm sure you can also find them online.
