Picked up my Euro Mount

Picked up my Euro Mount from my son from the buck I shot opening day of gun season . Put it in my cluttered office area .

That turned out great. Like the slab wood concept.

I like that kind of mount. How does the cost of a euro mount compare to a regular head and shoulder mount?

My neighbor did it last year I did it this year. 5 gal bucket and an aquarium heater. Skin the head and put it in took me 12 days to have a perfect euro. Dry then bleach1

It takes me 45 minutes and 2/3 of a gallon of gas to do one from a raw head. 15 minutes to skin and 30 minutes to blow out all the soft tissue with a 3100 psi pressure washer. 
 

I like the natural bone color, from the raw method, more than the slightly yellow look that results when heat is used, or bleached white or various dips.  

 

Cleanup is the best.  Just blow the offal to the edge of the concrete pad and the vermin and birds take care of it overnight.   Another big plus is no smell and less nagging. I’m surprised that my mother and wife didn’t run me off, after the ones that I did on their stoves.

I've done a few with the powerwasher. Did you boil first to soften it up, I did . Yes the bucket methos does have a stink but not too bad. I feel its the easiest way to go about doing it.

Regular mounts are a whole lot more than that. And your mount is just as nice looking. At least it is to me.

Cheapest mount I came across was $550. Average price $650. Top notch Taxi $800-850.
