Swamphunter Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 When doing European mounts, do you leave the lower jaw on or off (whitetail). If it is optional, which way is more usually done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIwhitetailhunter Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Re: Lower jaw on or off? If the lower jaw is left off it's a European mount. If the lower jaw is attached it's a Western mount. That's what I've been told anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QDMAworks4me Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: Lower jaw on or off? I just finished my racks last week and I took the bottom jaw off both of them. It is a lot of work that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
