Maintaining/Caring for Trophies
Just received my trophies from my May 08 hunt. Just did European mounts. Are there any special things to do to prolong the life of the mounts i.e. wax/polishes etc. to either use or avoid.

Did a search of this site and Goggle and came up empty.

Not an authority but I do know smoking will cause them to yellow and dust to adhere causing even more "dirty" apearance. I'd select a spot out of direct sunlight or too close a heating duct. Wide variation in temp and humidity may result in cracks from expansion/contraction. Aside from that I'd guess a simple dusting will suffice to keep them looking decent.

I had Millers trophy room spray all my european mounts to guard against bugs forever. They charge 30 US for each european mount.

Where is Millers?
What did they spray on them?
