Good deal

Sweet looking buck. I have the same camera as you. Do you get white pictures during the transition of the day from light to dusk or dark to dawn?

The geese up here are hitting the crop fields. I see them daily and they are flying

For those heading out in a few weeks for early goose let us know how you do and post some pics.

Good deal

Sounds cool. Congrats

They look great. keep up the good work

Hey I have not missed an episode yet.

Looks good from my point of view. Keep at it and you'll be a pro in no time.

good deal nice mount

If it broke after the hunter shot it, then yes a repair would be in order. I have many deer come into the shop with broken tines and 9 out of 10 the customer wants it left as is. It gives the deer uniqueness. Taxidermy is about preserving a memory, a hunt, an experience to be remembered.

My area is getting hammered with geese and ducks returning from down south.

looks good

Thats a nice rack, but I would have left it as is.

Congrats. I didn't know it was open again in your area.

If you go down to the local beauty parlor what do you see ? Little old ladies who get their hair colored and sometimes bleached sitting under heat dryers with their heads wrapped in plastic.

As far as letting these things sit in the sun, there is no need for it and a complete waste of time. You also need to mix your 40 vol creme with Basic White. All this stuff can be bought off of ebay. After applying a liberal coat of your bleaching agent, you want to wrap your skull in saran wrap and then place the skull in front of a heat source. A very hot heat source, but be very, very careful to not catch your wrap on fire. Rotate skull several times for about 30 minutes. Remove wrap and then dunk skull in super hot water. Rinse very well and if you have an air hose "boil" the skull under water with the air. Be sure to get all the crevices, with the air while the skull is under water. And further more never ever boil a skull in the pot while removing the meat. Simmer is the key word.

From the pic, I think I still see grease spots. How did you degrease it?
