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
