I have done my fair share of euro mounts. You can never beat the perfect job dermestid beetles will do but taking the time to do your skull properly you put so many hours or days in to harvest/Kill.
Theres lots of threads on AO to help you out.
I skin my skull out as soon as i get time while in camp or back home then its into a low slow boil. Once you have done that part and pressure washed it i put the skull into the peroxide bath then i put elastics around the bridge of the nose to keep it tight and keep that splitting from happening.
I cringe whenever i see someone cut out the skull plate leave the hair on then hang it up.
It really is a fun learning experience in doing your own.
This years Black Bear i got is getting done with Dermestid beetles because i know i can't do the same job they do.....
