BassAholic Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Does anyone know a reasonable taxidermist that will do a european mount. I've got a decent 8 point buck that I would like to do this with. I'd rather not have to spend over $100 to do it either.I just thought it would be something a little different.

eyesorbust Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 you can get a kit to do it yourself and it is really easy. i got my kit at cabelas for about $40-50. you could do about 3 deer with one and yes they are different, but very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAholic Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'd personally rather not mess with it. I think it involves boiling the skull and peeling off the fat/tissue. Not really my cup of tea.I'm fine with paying a guy a couple bucks so I don't have to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman16 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i shot a nice 9 pointer a couple years back and thats when it was cold during deer season. i put the head in a bag and put it in the freezer until spring. when the ground thawd out i dug a hole and put it in there for about 3 months. then i put it in the lake for a couple weeks. when it was done it had that old European look to it, it wasnt like bleach white but it looked good.iceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticknstring Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I fleshed out my skull last night... with a little effort you can do it yourself. Just make sure to stay in the garage... the women aren't real fond of the process in the kitchen. I just scrubbed some bleach on it afterwards & I think it turned out pretty good. If you want another place to compare prices in the St. Cloud area... google beetle my bones. I just got an email from him this morning... if you want more info on pricing, let me know.
