[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 601742, member: 307"] I did it once with a big typical whitetail my ex-father-in-law gave me. It was about 30yrs old when I got it and it had been out in the top of his shed. It wasn't sun-bleached white but definately a lot lighter than normal. I used a light coat of fruit wood stain to get the base color back and used additional coats to get the bases darker. I also created a few monster rubs on some big cedars that drove my hunting buddy crazy for a couple of weeks. Finally told him but what I had done but not until after I'd gotten a few laughs. :) I got the head mounted once I found a cape big enough to do it justice. You just can't stick any ole' North Carolina deer cape on a Minnesota set of antlers. When I moved from N.C. to Wa. I sold it and another one to some guy. Figured he'd sell then to Cracker Barrel. Oh well, fun for a little while. Good luck. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
