Hmmm...

Nevertheless, these tips will be good for me come Oct. Especially the hydrogen peroxide

He was banned. Go look at his posts. Started listing several things for sale, using different numbers. This is why the 10 post rule is good, gives you time to weed out the scams.


I have yet to be begin to procrastinate.

ALSO use electrical tape or some other type of wrap on the bases & up the beams to keep the hydrogen peroxide from bleaching the color off the antlers themselves. Either that or get a taxidermist paint/ marker for coloring the antlers once that happens. Additionally, make a paste out out the peroxide & baking soda & apply with a small brush. This way you can get it in the cracks/crevices.

Relax guys. I am guessing he is New Zealand. Their hunting season is March - may time frame for whitetails.

Or he was a spammer just making up lies! That's why it's good to call out people that post craziness

Take it to somebody with beetles. It’s a lot easier than boiling and they get all the meat off.

Well I’m not going to comment on the legitimacy of the OP or hunt, but for me the easiest and most affordable thing to do with low value racks is cap it or bury it. I like buried skulls better than bleached skulls. Bleached skulls are too white and look fake to me. Muley buried and mounted on scrap Birdseye maple, about $10; big elk taxidermy beetle and bleach a couple hundred $, raghorn cap and scrap walnut less than $10 and no dirt time. Dirt time is a couple months in the arid west.

I just put some bondo in the skulls to attach it to the scrap board. A couple screws through the back of the board. I usually router a picture frame slot in the back of the board to hang it from the wall but you could use picture hanging hardware if you don’t have a router.

Haha, so it appears a guy was attempting to fit in with the crowd to get to the minimum required posts to then offer things for sale, scam hunters out of their hard earned dollars. But apparently hunting mule deer in March threw up a few flags, for all but Jeff Foxworthy hahaha. But how to clean skulls still a good question so it’s rolling on.

All about turning nothing into something. Seems to be trending.

Who knows but you can probably go to Home Depot and pick up a galvanized pipe and electrical tape for a similar scope, and maybe even a Highway Flagger's vest too.
