My First Two Euro Mount pics

[shaydog65]

Hi All,

In my second season hunting. I managed to snag a nice 4x2 Island Blacktail and a Region 3 5x4 Mulie (I'm counting tines today :-D). Probably not trophy worthy to most of you guys, but I was really proud, and their trophy's to me, so I wanted the memories hung in my garage.

I finally dug them out of the freezer and turned them into Euros last Sunday. Interesting process to say the least. I have 1 small repair to do on the blacktail jawbone. The pressure washer knocked it off. And both will go on a wood backer next time I get out into the bush to find something interesting.

So here's the pics....

good job cleaning them up, now a little degreasing and some bleaching and it will look like a pro did it.
well done

Hi Bowhunter,

Can you elaborate a little bit? I googled "how to do a Euro" and the vid didn't mention degreasing/ bleaching.

Thanks for any help.

they are a little bit yellow, as bowhunterbruce suggested, they need some whitening and degreasing. notice i didn't say bleaching.
