I killed an eight point this morning and am going to do a european mount myself. Does anyone have any tips on how to do it?

good luck man. it's gonna stink like nothing else.

drop the head off a boat dock with a rope attached to the horns and let the fish eat it. Dont let it hit the bottom. Or you can put the head in a huge ant bed.

Did the ant bed deal with a hog skull once, it turned out perty good. Still had to do some work afterwards though.

Ihave heard people say boil the head and hit it with with a pressure washer but I don't know it if would ruin the pot or not.

What did you do to keep coons and dogs from dragging it off

heck yea it will ruin a pot and the kitchen. depending on how bad soon you want it, take it to the woods and leave it out there. I found a badly decomposed 8 last year and just left it there for a couple months. it was clean as could be after that.

act like you are gonna cook some crawfish but but the skull in the pot instead of some crawfish and let it boil the stuff off

If you want to boil it I reccommend doing it outside.

Dropping it off into a pond or lake works but, from my experience, there is a lot of work to be done to the skull afterwards. I started doin to ant bed thing a couple years back and it works really well.

use some wire to tie it far enough up the tree (after you dip it in the ant bed good-you want ants on it when you put it in the tree so they go down and tell all the other ants where it is) and yes, it will ruin a pot....any pot. we've done it on a gas burner outside and it was rank...couldn't imagine trying to pull that off inside!

Find someone with some beetles!
