I left my buck head in Potter. The butcher gave it to a 14 year old kid to do a Euro mount. $80, and I figured giving a young entrepreneur an opportunity, was a good thing, and having been one, figured it was in my DNA to help him out. So.....before I went to Montana was informed it was done. This morning my brother and I headed north, picked up the mount, had lunch with a friend and checked out camp. Twelve hours after leaving the house we were back home. Honestly, a good day.   |

I bury the heads in the garden, dig them out in June or so, after giving time to the bugs to eat in warmer ground. Spray off, and soak in Borax for a few days. Then soak in Peroxide for a week or so. Done. But... the color of the skull is a bit more yellow tinted than what you get from the Beetles, and that process.

That one always makes me cringe, of all of them. Sounds like it's a chore and one that's crossed off a list. |
