Awesome buck thats a huge blacktail in my books.  
I've heard that peroxide works better then bleach, I bleached a bear skull and it all started crumbling. I'm sure bleach works i probably just didn't dilute it enough. Sorry to thread jack

Peroxide works great.

So you raked some brush and stomped around and he came in looking for a fight?! That's really cool. Did you know he was in the area or were you just pulling out all the stops on the last day? Was he smelling rutty at all

Thanks guys! Couldn't be more proud of this guy. Didn't have a scale but I know he was well over 200 pounds, closer to 250-275 in my honest opinion!!! 

Ken I would have loved to do a shoulder mount since as you said getting a black tail that tops this will be a challenge to say the least but can't afford the cost being a student I am going to try to do a European mount myself. I bleached my first deers skull last year and it came out well so I'm hoping to do the same with this guy!!!

My euro mount for my buck is only $150.00.  I just dropped it off yesterday.
