    Finally retrieved some skulls that I'd been waiting on nature to take its course with. Got the rest of the gunk off of them, then soaked them in 1/3 bleach & 2/3 water.They turned out pretty good I think. It sux the bottom jaw of the hog got taken away by some critter.

    Cool. Gonna mount them in your man-cave?

    Wait, you do have a man-cave, don't you?

    Yep, got a mancave/gun room/deer stand...lol.


    They look really nice, good job. Can I hire you for my next one?

    I set mine under a bucket, in a ant pile & stick a large paver stone on top. Wait about 2 months, hit em with the water hose, then take a wire brush to them to get any meaty stuff off. Then fill bucket with bleach & water, let em soak for a couple days. Then hit em with the water hose to wash em clean. Be careful because the teeth can fall out pretty easily. I ran loctite super glue on mine.

    I have seen them put on roofs to sun bleach too!

    Those are all central Texas whitetails from Williamson county close to the Milam county line. All harvested on a low fenced 70 some odd acre ranch. The one on the far right weighed 165lbs before dressing.

    The one on the left has some awesome G1's. I hope to get some like that at my place. I started them on protein at the beginning of the year, can't wait to see what happens the next few years.

    I got three buckets out back in the sun with some bobcat skulls in them. I found a dude on YT who suggested trying out maceration

    I can tell you they never happened at Ralph’s place! Then again it’s harder to shoot from the road at your place!

    I'm sure they'll roam, but I am fortunate to have that land locked piece of land behind me...it's like a sanctuary for them to feel safe. I don't even take the buggy to the trail in the back anymore. I park it, then walk in. I think that's why I've been seeing more bucks lately. I try to leave the back undisturbed. I do need to take the tractor back there & mow. It's starting to look like a jungle with all the rain.

    Ralph's on 350 acres currently with no hunting for years. a total sanctuary! His old place was way off the road. No power lines going in. Landlock with a huge tract, no great big bucks. His old place was were I seen the mountain lion tracks & heard it. Not real far from his current place.

    Sounds like hog heaven... along with some deer.
