Title: spine shot doe
Post by: Onions on October 19, 2008, 08:41:00 PM

shot a doe last night in the spine. Buried the broadhead through the vertabre.
Cool trophy! Any suggestion on how to preserve it?

boil off meat and soak in bleach water for 15 min.

the head is in great shape, but it's buried in the vertabre.
I would like to preserve it all togather. I am afraid that boiling will crack the vertabre and bleach will rust the head.

let the beetles eat it.   If you have a place to put it, out of the way...  just leave it and they will clean it up.  I have one that is very neat....  except on mine, the deer got up and ran away, only to be shot some time later  (at least a year)  by my son.

Keep it locked in that vertebra. It'll look good on the shelf. Here's one from a donkey:
