Title: New European!
Post by: Skinner on December 21, 2008, 01:25:22 PM: Finished my Peaches Ridge bull a few weeks ago. Here it is freshly pressure washed! I will have a pic of my collection of european mounts soon I am in the process of moving to the house I just built so I have a pile of antlers. I will try to get them all in one picture. To be continued...

Post by: Skinner on December 21, 2008, 08:23:04 PM: I don't know about burying them, I'm always afraid of animals packing them away!

Post by: Skinner on December 24, 2008, 08:15:31 AM: Thanks guys,
I skin off as much meat as possible then stick it in some high concentrate peroxide my buddy gets for me. I let is sit for a couple days max and then pressure wash it. You have to be real careful not to get it on the horn or yourself for obvious reasons.

We just moved into the new house so I will take a pic of my collection. Bear, pig, elk, and deer skulls!

Later,
Matt
