cockercas Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 If I want the skull and antlers of the roe buck do I just hang the head outside and let the flys and maggots eat away all the flesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchester12 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 No. It will look disgusting and stain the bone. I cut the skull through the jaw bone to the desired size for the trophy. I then skin and de-brain it. Then you need to boil it with some daz washing powder. Dont let the antlers get in the water. After a few hours the flesh and fat will fall away. Then I give it a good wash and scrub. Sometimes the nose bones drop out so I re-attach them with a couple of match sticks and super glue on the inside.
