If I bring home the Bison this weekend I have arranged for the hide to be converted to a blanket/robe. However we don't have wall space in our home for a full-sized head or head and shouoder mount, so I am considering doing a DYI Skull Mount (like the old trail-markers on the pioneer trails out west). That takes cleaning, boiling and bleaching the head then attaching it to a mounting board or plate to then fix it to the wall.
There are a number of its available on the net...but I would appreciate any feedback on your experiences doing one of these mounts??? The process is the same for all skulls from Rabbit-Deer- Bear- Bison, so what animal yo did doesn't matter, but how it worked for you, or didn't, is what I need info about.
Thanks folks. I hope to go thru the feedback when I return from the hunt next week.
