Shed Hunting

The Frau was out with Girlfriend the other day and the dog came out of the woods with a real prize.

Not just a shed antler.

Or a leg bone from some carcass.

She returned with this!

An intact deer skull with the antlers attached.

I'm going to clean it-up and hang it on a wall.  Instant European mount.

  1. I found 1 of those years ago while hunting. I bleached the entire skull and antlers and then used a wood stain on the antlers. It turned out very well. Only problem was that I forgot at my former place of employment after getting laid off. I have an idea who snatched it.

  2. The skull cleaned-up very nicely.

    I need to know about how you stained the antlers to match the natural patina.
