    European mounts are the way to go IMO, I think they look awesome. Good job.

    Nice. I just got my Euro and I'm happy. My Buddy shot a small 5 pt and just wanted the meat so I grabbed the horns for a hat rack.
    How long do you boil the skull, and do u bury it in the ground to get all the meat off?

    I pressure washed mine after skinning the head and it took me only 45 minutes and got almost all the meat off. I then boiled it with dawn dish soap a couple times to cook the rest of the meat off and it was ready to bleach and do what ever else I wanted to do with it.

    I skinned mine then boiled it all day then got the rest out and boiled it with dawn dish soap another hour and bleached. The power washer idea sounds really good tho I will have to try it next time
