Got the new euro mount elk on the wall now. 

When I traveled to Germany several years ago I was enamored with the beautiful way skulls were displayed on intricately carved plaques, so I was thrilled last year when a client requested that their whitetail skull be displayed in a similar way. Skull cleaning/mounting was done by me on a beautifully carved wood plaque from an artisan in London ( will find the name and edit post to credit them.) . . . #europeanmount #euromount #whitetailskull #skullcleaning #classiceuropeanmount #taxidermy #taxidermist #deerskull #missouriwhitetail #missouritaxidermist #missouritaxidermy (at Kansas City, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMw7CDcpNsL/?igshid=lqifffyukq7v

I scored him at 135 green. With it just barely being big enough to make Pope&Young I decided I wasn’t ready to drop $3-500 for a shoulder mount so I’m doing a euro mount myself.

The euro-mount is done! Wifey won’t let me hang it over our bed, so I guess it’ll look just as good in the man cave 😂😂 . Big thanks to @ajholway for helping me with this one! Stoked on how it turned out! . . #euromount #blacktail #nontypical #cantwaitforthenextone #deermeat #tastesgood #tacocmawa #puyallup https://www.instagram.com/p/B5I1zbfjLJo/?igshid=2ves881iim6u

3 mule deer mounts she did this year.  Her’s in the middle, mine on the left, and her friends daughters first buck on the right.

Jessica  learned how to do European mounts this year and after doing hers she was nice enough to offer to do mine and a friends daughters skull.  I am soooo lucky to have this girl.

I got to work rite away boiling the skull down. This is my third attempt at euro skulls and I think I get a little better each time. I was determined not to use the power washer as much this time because I thought it damaged the sinus cavities in the last one. I had to give it a break and come back in the morning to finish up.
