How to European Mount a DEER Skull

Step by step how to do your own european mount at home. This process takes patience, but the results are unreal! DIY euro mounts can turn ugly really quick, but these tips will help your skull come out perfect every time!

HOW TO:
Skin face, remove eyes
Wrap antlers with plastic wrap and secure with tape (do NOT submerge or discoloration will occur)
Add about 2 TBS of DAWN soap (or any dish soap) to pot of water
Bring water to a low simmer DO NOT BOIL
Allow skull to "boil" for ~5 hours (depends on water temp, again DO NOT BOIL)
Remove as much tissue as possible
Repeat as many times as needed
Pressure washing will help remove tissue, but will damage fragile nasal bones
If you're trying to keep the nasal bones, you will spend a LOT of time cleaning out the tissue. I recommend a long very skinny screw driver and needle nose pliers.
Allow to dry completely (~12 hours)
Apply 40 Volume Developer all over skull (avoid antlers)
Allow to sit MINIMUM 8 hours, but up to 24 hours depending on how white you want your skull
