2012 Velvet nap!

Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for the kind responses! I have a slight obsession with these beautiful creatures (as most would probably say on this site). Size does not matter for me, however some day a 90incher or so would be awesome!

I just wanted to share what I thought was a cool and unique way of displaying my coues! While cutting wood, I found a nice tear drop section of some shaggy bark juniper. With the help of a couple friends, we came up with this idea.

That looks awesome! Mind sharing how you did the Euro mount on the skull while still keeping the velvet intact?

peroxide on the skull that is barber shop quality and a flat head screw driver around the base of his antlers. Then I cut a piece of juniper (about 3in diameter) and screwed that to the base and also into the brain cavity. it gives it a floating look from the front. I had a buddy use tounge oil on the base to preserve the wood as well as make the grain look just a little more bold.
