Maine Hntr Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 well I decided just for fun and to try something new that I'd do my own euro mount this year... not a big deer but different project and I learned some. A couple photos, don't worry he won't be staying there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Turned out nice! I have one mounted on a similar looking piece of old barn wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerforged Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Great job - I really like the use of the old barn wood for the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I have one coming...My daughter shot her first deer this year a nice little 7 pointer so I had it done.... hope it comes out as good as yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine Hntr Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thanks guys, just a good little project for the colder weather. Watched some youtube videos, skinned the head, boiled, power washed, kept cleaning, simmered in a water and peroxide mix... probably took between 6-8 hours of actual labor, not counting the time it just sat boiling. I thought of the barn board last minute and liked how it looked.. I thought an 8" diameter log sliced at a long angle might look pretty cool too, maybe 1" thick or so, maybe next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Nice job. The barnwood is a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Looks great. Did you use beetles or just scrape it? Most in Alaska put a head on a rope, drop it to the bottom and in a week the shrimp, flees, and crabs have cleaned it up. I love easy....
