Tom2008 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Some of you may remember Zambo posting pictures of a buck he found while shed hunting. Well he decided to have me clean it up for him and I thought I would follow up with some pictures. Enjoy and I was able to score this buck at 155". 23" Outside spread Before After Just an FYI. This skull was burned because it was on the ground during a prescribed burn. My favorite picture Edited August 8, 2009 by Tom2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambo Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Tom, The skull looks awsome! I am very pleased with how it looks. This deer had hide and hair burned to the skull, it was rotted, stinky and had burn marks on some of the exposed skull. This trophy came out white, evenly colored and looks great. Thank you, top shelf work on a very difficult piece. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTF Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Tom, after the maceration, are you bleaching them ? I am very impressed with the color you are getting with your euro's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sluggunner Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Awesome work. Where on earth do you guys live that you come across all of these huge deer! Dang!!! Sure there are huge deer in my back yard, but that is because I live where there is no hunting allowed, but in areas near me where hunting is allowed all I ever see are spikes, fork horns and little basket racked 6 & 8 pointers that wouldn't score over 80 to 90 B& C points. You guys seem to have access to "Big Bone" all the time. I have got to move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
