Title: Spike Euro mount (Deer)
Post by: timberghost72 on March 03, 2011, 09:14:58 PM: This is a blacktail I had tagged on the late hunt in 2009. I have never tried to do any euro mounts before but I decided to try with this guy. All I did was stripped of as much as I could and then put the head up in a tree in my woods out back for about 4 months. I then took it down and boiled the head for about 30 minutes. It cleaned up very easy. I then bleached it overnight. It didn't turn out really white but it turned out pretty good. I bought and used the Euro kit from Cabelas. It came with everything including the mount for around $50.00 if I remember right.
