I was trying to get the darn TimerCam app on my phone to work 😆. I was hunting solo and getting a couple decent pics is difficult.

Believe me, I was pretty jacked up.

That’s a solid buck good work. Did you shoot him from a ground blind? Just curious since you are dressed in all black

I’ve done my last few bucks. It takes about a week with the simmering/de-greasing and whitening. They come out pretty good.

I agree it looks great! What’s your process if you don’t mind sharing

- skin and flesh.
- simmer with dawn/borax powder mixture.
- remove all cooked muscle/brain and other materials.
- de-grease with dawn changing water every day for three days.
- apply volume 40 whitening paste with paint brush. Do not get any on antler bases.
- let dry. Then brush a light coat of Elmer’s glue over the entire skull. Helps with the whitening and keeps all of the fragile areas together.

Finally got it done on the 16th after spending countless hours sitting and walking. Walked into a clearcut and this guy stood up next to me at 50 yards.

Thanks I’ll give that a try sometime. How long do you simmer for?
