Does anyone have some pics of anything done this way. I'm thinking of doing this years Whitetail like this, but can't find any pics to know where to cut. Tried to get the search thingy to work, but came up empty.
Thanks,
Dave

Nice deer, but it'd look better up and down.

Nice pics guys, thank you.
Rackmastr, those are pretty cool. Been thinking of doing something along those lines, myself.

Bucktales,
How did you do such a nice job cutting the elk skull?
That is the first time I've seen it done that way and I think it looks great.

Mark, Not an elk. You should recognize this species. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> This Rothirsch (red) came out of Austria. A friend over there has a type of jig for a saw to make the cut for this type of mount. Seen them in the Frankonia catalog from Germany as well. Very common tool in Europe. My little Rehbock is done in a similar fashion as well as Andre's trophies.

Good Shooting!

Bucktales,
Your friend did a nice job, do you have picture of the entire mount?
I would like to see the crown if I could.

Bucktales and Andre, thank you for posting picutures of true European mounts. I coppied them.
I don't know where or when the taxidermists around here got the idea that the whole skull mounted on a board (I call them punkin on a post) is a European mount.
Nothing wrong with the whole skull but Me, myself and I don't like it.
Now I got something to show when I take the notion to have another one mounted.
I fell in love with the European style long long time ago when my Uncle brought back two roe deer, a red deer and a couple of chamois that he took in post WWII Austria.

Bucktales, Nice looking trophy. Looks like it scores around 300 SCI. Thanks for posting.

Boiling leaves that grease stain often. More time consuming but less risk if you go with someone that either rots them off or uses dermestid beetles

Boiling leaves that grease stain often Actually without using a degreaser, it dosen' matter if you boil or use bugs you will have some staining. Old animals and bear skulls seem to have the most oils in the skulls.
