Title: European Mounts
Post by: Shannon on December 10, 2023, 01:51:37 PM: Does anyone have a recommendation for someone who can do a Euro mount for me? I actually have a couple I need done and my usual guys is 18 months behind. Anywhere from Seattle North would work.
Thanks

I’ve used Paul for three euros as well. Always a reasonable cost and turnaround. Asked him to inlet a jawbone and the spent cartridge into the backside of the board on my last one, like some roe deer mounts my FIL had done in Germany. It’s a nice touch, IMO.

He did some grinding on the inside of the jaw to allow it to lay flat and flush. I added some rubber fisheyes on the board to help it hang perfectly, as the WSM shell was a bit proud.

Post by: Bowhunter3 on January 01, 2024, 05:36:54 PM: Another for 10 point. Communication and turn around was better than expected, and I got to see some giant wa elk he was taking care of when I picked this up. If you left your wa state quality elk there a couple years ago… congrats. Probably the biggest antlers I’ll ever see.

That’s a beauty bud! Nice work on both ends

Post by: Macs B on January 02, 2024, 08:30:33 AM: Does no one do their own Europ mounts? It's really easy and not a messy process. I flesh and freeze my skulls till the end of season. Pull everything out on a good sunny day, put on a crab pot full of salt water to boil. Using a wire I hang just the white bone in the water to render and cook of any flesh. Final touches are made with a stiff brush and loose sea salt as a scrubbing medium. Once fleshed and clean I hang them to dry. If you decide to whiten them you can use concentrated hydrogen peroxide on a clean diaper wrapped around the white bone.
