BowEd:


Figure it's around a 4 to 5 year old 8 point buck with good mass.Robin found him around a block away from the house.She always gets lucky that way.Course I put her in areas with the biggest chance too.It makes her day along with mine.Pretty sure he died in late december or early january sometime.

sleek:
Well, yank the head and hang it in a tree, its almost a european mount now. Then a pressure washer and some bleach....

BowEd:
These horns go on the porch rail along with the rest of them as they are so Robin and me and anyone else can look at them any time.Away from the mice.No special treatment.Trying to pressure wash that old dried hard face hide would do more harm than good.I don't use bleach either on my european head mounts.
When I put one down with the self or composite bows they get the special treatment.
I'm pretty sure he died from a gun wound just after gun season from next door property.

osage outlaw:
That's a shame.  Glad you found it before the squirrels. 

BowEd:
Well nothing lives forever.You bet the darn rodents will get them.We are'nt done covering all the ground yet looking for sheds.There's more dead deer laying around out there than people realize.It's been that way though for years and years.
