RE: LESSONS LEARNED FROM AN ATTEMPTED SKULL MOUNT
What I've been doing, that a buddy taught me when I first started hunting a couple years ago, is burying the head for several months. The first one I dug up late the following spring and still had some brain goo to clean up. The second one, well, I keep forgetting to dig up, and should probably do that soon...
So I dug it up yesterday, and probably should have dug all the way around where the skull was first. Instead when I hit the antlers I used them to wriggle the rest out of the ground, and it looks like most of the skull broke away, which is disappointing, but not a huge deal. Now it just needs a little cleaning up.
