[QUOTE="jimss, post: 2199433, member: 66919"] Wow those are some amazing bucks and a great job with the euros! I really don't like to post negative comments but thought I might provide some additional comments that may save some problems you may have with bugs in the future. I think this is especially important since I see you possibly live in TX. There likely are a lot of bugs in your area that you don't want to get into your skulls and other mounts. I always make a point of soaking my skulls in dawn PLUS borax. The borax will likely help keep bugs off them! A box of Muletrain borax is super cheap insurance! I also noticed that you left the septum in the noses. That is an area where it's next to impossible to remove all the material that bugs may feed on unless you remove the entire septum area. It is actually pretty easy to remove the entire septum area with needle nosed pliers after the skull has been soaking for a while. The only time this may not be a problem is if bugs are used to remove all the meat and other tissue on your skull. Gorgeous bucks and great job on the skulls! [/QUOTE]
