I seriously dont know why ive spent so many hours behind a turkey fryer and a pressure washer, getting splashed with brains. There is something special about knowing that everything from the skull to the antlers is original, but then again, there is something really special about spending 30 minutes chopping and prepping antlers and enjoying the rest of the day. Just waiting on a Mountain Mikes skull kit to arrive in the mail. Why didnt I think of this sooner? Bonus points, I used the left over time to finish building our new folding table for the laundry room, though I think im gonna add doors to it.

That sure beats digging a hole and waiting to see the outcome. I learned the hard way on my 1st ever buck though, squirrels like antlers as well. Them dang tree rats chewed every point off of that 8 point, talk about being 😡.

Very slow simmer I've always done and just walk away (only to return to add a touch more water every few hours)...doesn't do as well keeping the nose tips as paying a taxidermist to do Euro's right but does an admirable job.

Not bad, still dont know how I feel about not having the real skull. After this pic, I took the antlers back off and painted the skull flat white.

The fit don't look perfect but it's not that bad.

The fit don't look perfect but it's not that bad. Its far from perfect, this is the "large" skull and the base of the antlers is nearly twice the size of the fake pedicles. I may trim those down still.
