I use the brush on method of peroxide as well and I agree it’s definitely the way to go in my opinion. No worries of splashing or anything like that on the antlers when putting it on with a brush 🤷🏼‍♂️

That's what a neighbor did with his deer also. Set them on an ant hill and they were cleaned right off. The ants were well fed lol

That's awesome.

I apologize if this is a silly question, I’m doing a euro mount for the first time ever, so you have to get the brain out before this 2 hour boil or will it boil away with the rest of the flesh ?

Did you have the antlers wrapped when using oxyclean?

@@OHSGrad you can for extra protection but I usually don't. I find that gives you a false sense of protection. I put the skull in and then fill it half way with water. Pull the skull out and get the water up to a boil. Then drop the fire all the way down and throw a heaping scoop of oxyclean in SLOWLY lower the skull in cause the oxyclean will start to froth as it comes in contact with any meat left on the skull. Once it calms down and the skull is in SLOWLY add water with a garden hose till the water level is maybe an inch below the knurles on the antlers. Then crank that heat and bring it back to a SIMMER not a boil. Regulate the heat to maintain a simmer and you can inch that water up real close to the antlers. This is a whole day project so take your time and enjoy the process with your trophy. Have a couple beers and pull the skull out every half hour or so and scrape off any loose meat with a knife. Be careful though cause your knife will make cuts in the bone since it will be slightly soft from being cooked. My elk skull took a grand total of about 3 hours or so but I've done lots of them. Worst case scenario if you do get the antlers a little bit let it all dry out for a few weeks and then rub them antlers down with linseed oil 👍

@@rachelnicklinr4919 it boils to near mush, then you just scrape out whatever hasn’t loosened up and fallen out on it’s own.

Just saved your comment...heading out the door to get on it. Wife got a nice 8, and I got a nice 12; hers is getting oxycleaned here in a few, mine went in for shoulder mount yesterday. Great advice and seems legit!

Same they look way better

@@briansewelloutdoors8404 and way cheaper !!!

i've never been a fan of shoulder mounts. take up way too much room and they only get worse looking over the years.

Definitely a cheaper alternative

When the deer is a record weight or antler I think a shoulder mount is worth it. I agree with the space savings and europian mounts till look great.

The irony!!

Hunting does save wildlife though

Caleb Ullrich Nothing in the world helps wildlife more than hunters.

Random person Uhh. Someone. You make no sense. Hunting isn’t meant to save starving people. It’s meant to feed the hunter and his family. Being a benefit to wildlife is a bonus. “Natures way of fang and claw is a far crueler fate than I bestow.”

Random person Uhh. Someone Animals have been hunted by humans for well over 10,000 years. If humans suddenly stopped hunting let’s say deer, the deer population would skyrocket, deer would consume far more vegetation meaning less food for other animals. At some point coyote and wolf population would skyrocket because of the abundance of deer. Then thee wolves and coyotes would kill off tons of other species. Human hunters are a necessary part of wildlife. It would harm wildlife as a whole if we just stopped.

thats pretty cool. going to do it with a bear skull and see what it looks like. cleaning is easy but the mount is the hard part...... so many options.

Fermiticus thts awsome thanks for that!

That’s awesome!!

Thanks! I’m boiling mine now. Going to try this.

Great idea! Thanks!

How do you do that?

@@Spruce-Bug use some day old coffee grounds and just rub it into the antlers. I used a medium blend for a set of muley antlers came out pretty good. I honestly don't know if the roast type matters. The one I used worked perfectly for my dead head. Keep it away from the skull as it will stain it as well. Hope this helps and good luck.

That’s y he takes that ear canal bone out

Just simmer for 3hrs, then lightly pressure wash. All that stuff easily falls out in small pieces.

I didn't think of that one!

Yeah thats what Ive always done is bury it. It gets the job done, but it just takes a lot of patience. Itll come out clean but it just takes months of waiting like you said.

I've tied a boars head to a tree for the winter and it was almost perfectly clean by spring.

Another thing is find a big ant hill and bury the skull in there and put an wire cage around it so scavengers can’t run off with it.

I am doing it rn

I hang mine in a tree high enough animals can't get to it. Let it hang throughout the next summer let the bugs do their work!

I do too, with dawn in the pot also..👌

How much oxiclean do you use per gallon?

I agree

I haven't heard of that!

Only thing you didn’t mention was “every hole and every orifice”

@@wacknnsmackn8054 lol very true

How much of the salon care 40 do you put in the water to boil?

@@ohfullers 50/50 one part water one part developer

I tried that once. Squirrels ate the antlers 😡

When me and my grandpa did it with a long horn it worked nice

Thanks!

So how exactly is that faster? I do mine pretty much the same as this video and get them done within a week tops. 3 months? Smh.

It's a little dirty, but the results are good!
