Have 2 good whitetail bucks, but don't want any more shoulder mounts.

What cool / fun ideas could you suggest?

European mounts are always nice in a minimalistic fashion. OR, you could go the other way and get a half mount or a full mount...

Here's a half lifesize mount

Kind set on Euro... Any suggestions?

If you're set on a European mount, they're easy to do yourself.

Skin the head off, then place it in a water pot, large enough to hold the skull entirely underwater, but without the antlers being submerged. Add some DAWN dishwashing detergent to the water and SIMMER (not boil), the head until the meat begins to fall off the bones.

Clean off the meat and using a screwdriver, "muckle around" in the brain pan and bust up the brain tissue. Rinse and repeat until all the meat is off the skull and out of the brain pan.

There are numerous skull whitening products that you can buy to whiten the skull as well as videos to teach you how to do it.

It's a great way to make a nice looking trophy and spend a weekend doing something productive....

Hi,
Have a look at this. our own Anders has his Ibex mounted like this. I love it! http://forums.accuratereloadin...3421043/m/6371016391


Another option are skull hooks. A very near nice way to display skulls http://www.skullhooker.com/pho...tomer-trophies/#sg28
