Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Europe Request for a favor

BCR,

There is no set way to cut a skull for a European mount...Usually its cut to remove the teeth in the upper jaw, but after that its really down to individual preferences and local traditions.

My early attempts were not very good, with the cuts varying a lot from trophy to trophy and the skulls not being as white as I would have liked. The bottom skull in the pic is an early attempt and I wish I'd done better as its a bronze meedal head!

I have now settled for what is termed the long nose cut as in the upper two mounts in the picture..



Below is a very average Muntjac that was mounted more for practice than anything else. Again its a long nose cut..





Regards,

Peter
