Hammertime Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 This deer was found dead on the side of the road by my daughter so is missing parts of the nose still it looks great on her wall I always used a saw to cut skulls but now use a 4” grinder with a ultra thin metal disc super accurate cuts but wear a mask bone dust is god awful stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 The line I also prefer is show on Hammertime's photo and it should go just below the upper nose section. If you draw a line from just along the upper palett just under the eye socket it should line up about halfway down the back of the skull. It then sets the antlers off at a nice angle.
