Title: Euro spike from the garden
Post by: logola512c on March 22, 2021, 02:33:13 PM: Besides great eating, a spike deer also results in a really cool euro if you bury the head in your garden. I think I'm going to leave it this color. Has a nice ominous look to it.

I didn't even skin it first. Just buried the head with hide on it. Left it there for 16 months. There wasn't a shred of hair or meat left on it. Although the brain cavity was a milky goo,vwhich was pretty gross but nothing sa good hose couldn't take care of.

I bet if you mixed a healthy dose of coffee grounds into the dirt you bury it in you could really get some good coloration.
