Newarcher Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hey, I am buying a new home with an enclosed but not HVAC'd space. I want to put my deer head out there but am afraid that it will mold or something from the humidity and/or heat. Any help would be appreciated.

artisticwhitetails Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: Question about a mount I wouldnt put it out there. Your right on track about the heat and humidity. After a while your mount will more than likely start to pull and you will get major shrinkage around the eyes and nose from the constant changes. It may even start to drum badly all over. Your also offering bugs like dermestids and certain moths easy pickins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Re: Question about a mount Humidity is bad if it is constant all day and the nights cool off rapidly. Constant ventilation is key here. If you care about this mount, think twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christsavedme Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Re: Question about a mount I know a friend of mine did this and he regrets it big time. He put all of his mounts up in his garage....wife didn't want them in the house......anyways.....Lets just say he doesn't have the mounts anymore. All that time, money, and memories gone to the bugs and weather. The humidity started the problem. And the bugs ended it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
