Here is my first attempt at a Euro mount for my first ever hunt and trad buck. Many thanks to my fellow tradganger who helped me with advice about this. Let me know what ya'll think.
Oh and the arrow there is the actual arrow and head used....

That is too cool.. Great job.
Start to finish, how much time did it take?

JD, It took about 1.5 hours to boil and then another 5 hours in the peroxide bath/paste.
To skin and cut the head and stuff, that only took about 35-45 min. So a total of 7 hours or so. Was fun and fairly easy, and super easy on the wallet. Thanks for asking.
You did good Paul.
Now we'll see if we can't get you one up hear to mount.
It's gettin closer to that time!
Nice job!
You are not wasting any time! :)
Congratulations!!!
Looks very nice. Hap
Thanks guys, it was fun.
Larry, I'm going to try my best to bring one home, well see maybe i'll get that monster we were talking about :pray:

That looks good. That is how I like doing it too. I have one with the full skull, but prefer just the topped off one like yours. Now you need a nice slice of wood to put it on.
That makes for a very classy diplay,good job!!
My typing is not very good, I mean display.
Thanks Ron,
Jerry, indeed. I'm currently looking for a nice rough cut piece of wood that i can stain and mount it too. I will definitley show it after i do that.
