Skull Mount?
 

Looking for suggestions for techniques to do one. I have heard a few ways.
skin it then dig out eyes and what brains you can then boil for hours
stake down in an antbed until they pick it clean
heard there is like an acidic solution to put it in

Just wondering from the people who have done them before what they found to be the best technique
Im thinking ant bed

Ant bed in your neighbors yard. ;)

EVO

Ant bed? NO!!!!
give me a shout I've done quite a few. I'll tell you how & give a list of tools & materials you need, nothing major & it will be done in a couple days (evenings) Here's a couple I have pics of.

I have used ant bed on small ones but if tree rats find it they will eat the horns, plus it dont smell good and the skull will be yellow

I know a few guys who would put it in the biggest and bed they could find with a cage around it to keep tree rats out. After most of it was clean they would boil the rest out then bleech the skull. Mounts came out pretty cool, but I've never tried it.

Man it's tough. My dad and I have done a few and they came out decent but it wasn't worth the trouble. My mule deer I killed this year are fixing to be shipped to me from Utah. Guy I had do skull mounts up there had these flesh eating beetles. Would be cool if someone around here had something like that.

Yeah I kind of looked around on the internet for someone like that, didnt really see anything.

I just passed a place in lake Arthur that has a big sign on 14 advertising skull mounts. I think you crazy skull mounting that deer. I know it maybe too late but that's a lot of guys deer of a lifetime especially being how it was taken. I'll try to get the number for ya.

Thanks! Well given how close it is to christmas I didnt want to get into a bind payin $300-400 for mount plus the meat process fee. Would have made an awesome mount.

Depending on how you cut the head off. Freeze it then after the 1st of yr get it done.

head is cut pretty close below the skull and I cut off the excess hide. Wouldnt work for a shoulder mount.

Nope

That guy you saw that does skull mounts, did he look like he had a legit business or just a shop in the bckyard type of deal? Trying to find a number.

There's a place in Oklahoma City that does the flesh eating beetle stuff. Watched a show on them a while back. It's pretty cool what they do!

The beetles work, just not feasible on price to do one skull.

If you want a shoulder mount, check with Steve/Josh German. They used to let you pay over time and may be able to get another cape for the mount.

got a guys number that has extra capes if you want to get it mounted shoulder style or he will do scull cheap Waylon Witticker 337-263-3844, lives in Moss Bluff area

I'm kinda curious as to what "cheap" is?
Me & my son do them & charge.

I will let you know for sure a price

One MILLION DOLLARS!! MUUUAAAHHAHAHHAHAAHAA!

Sold!!!!!! Oh wait a minute I got carried away.

:eek:

Don't you need to be sitting on the front porch waiting on UPS to deliver a seatbelt????

Banner Chevrolet for that. UPS to take me away from this 3 ring circus! Close enough!!! I'll be outside!

A goose hunt that cost $200+. I don't have extra $ like you from ripping people off. If you have so much $ why don't you donate some to me.

well I guess the price I had was alittle off, just found out that Whitaker is $100 for European

That's close to going price. I'm a lil cheaper though ;)

I was told $50 at one time

Close but not quite. $85 just the skull & $100 with plaque.

I would be willing to pay that, takes time to do it right

Will you do does. That seems to be all I can kill. :-)

Usually takes a few days (4-5) that's evenings after work.

Sure! You sound like me!

I'm supposed to have a guy bringing me a bear skull, I'll post some pic before during & after.

I want to find a piece of drift wood or somthing like that and then I will get with you when I go to Cabelas next time

As a matter of fact....were in the process of doing one right now as we speak (type) ;)

Lol. One day I'll break the curse. I'd like to see the bear mount

Just let me know, & driftwood??? Our fishing camp has drift wood all over. Were just off the Miss River that floods our lake every spring. Make awesome coffee table settings with ducks mounted on ;)

I wanted a big piece of ceder or mesquite but dont see that working out...I want it to sit on a table not hang on wall

I'm back guys. $100 sounds about right does that include a piece of wood or something? I will drop it off tomorrow if he can do it.

Ever see anything like that send me a picture & we'll see what we can do & keep our eyes open for.

sure thing

This is what I got to work with

All you need to do a euro mount.

if you want to wait and let wtretrievers do it I am gonna bring him mine after first of year and can bring yours

I've got some old rough cut wood that came off an old barn that I think looks pretty good. Pictures in this thread.

Unfortunately I dont have a freezer to put him in. I am thinking of calling the guy up in the Bluff

ok, give him a call and he will fix you up

Have you seen his work?
