    Got the euro finished up a couple weeks ago, thought I would share a couple completed photos. For those who asked for more photos before, sorry it took so long to get around to posting it.

    Started as a buck I shot last fall but did not recover until March....

    Took these photos today....

    Looks good, Scott. You have any trail cam pics of that buck? He looks wide.

    I lost all of my cameras but one in the fire. I only put that one camera out for a week last summer because life was so hectic last year.

    This was the only deer I got on camera last summer. No other bucks, no does. Just this one.

    I cannot find the memory card that the photos are on though. I know I had pics of him on photobucket last year because I know I sent them to TJF. I must have deleted them from my photobucket account.

    He measures a tick over 20" inside spread.

    Thanks.

    Close... After boiling, degreasing and disinfecting (for smell) I used the BIN primer in the aerosol can. Only very lightly though, I did not coat it. Just a little white to brighten it up a bit.

    Most any home improvement store will have it. Its nice stuff. Be careful if you use it though it is runny if you spray it to heavy, it is not a thick primer.

    I have used this stuff numerous times over the years to seal stains etc on houses I was working on.

    It turned out great Scott. I looked back through my PMs and couldn't find the picture. I remember you sending it and I haven't deleted anything. I'll look again and see if I can find it.

    Looks great, did you have to stain the antlers? they looked pretty white in the field picture. then look really good on your mount.

    No, I did not stain the antlers. I believe the difference in color in the photos is attributed to all of the bright natural sunlight in the outdoor photo and the darker environment in the indoor photos.
