Hubby's deer skull is out of the freezer, defleshed and waiting for degreasing
We didn't get any pictures of this buck before he went into the box. He is a typical sized 3 pointer with small brow tines as well an extra small dropper on one side. Symmetrical with good highth and width. In another couple of years he would have been truly impressive.
I had to utilize my ventilated box as a lid because the horns were too high for the 96 quart box. With this set up I could do a much larger head without any problem and have it well ventilated.
I am fascinated by the beautiful structure of the the bone and the elegant sweep of the horns. It will be appreciated for years and I continue to learn the skills of this form of taxidermy.
Considering using bio-degradable degreaser rather than the detergent/water method. Something new to try and evaluate.
I'll follow up on how things went and maybe post photos!
