OT - My European Mosse Mount is Finally on the Wall

Post by Sandman »

Good evening all,

I finally finished my European Moose Mount from probably the last Moose I will ever harvest thanks to our Ontario Moose tag Fiasco. It has been a work in progress for a few years but I finally finished it and it has taken its rightful place on the wall of my cottage. I thought I would share the journey as it was a learning experience for sure but I got er done. I wont post and pictures from the boiling stage as it was not for the faint of heart. Here are some pics;

Post boiling I hung it in my boat house for the better part of 2 years - I found that no matter how meticulous you are you will miss meat and tissue. It sure stunk up the BH for quite some time;

The peroxide/dye/bleach stage;

A respirator is a must;

I milled a biscuit of pine from where I harvested the bull and it fit perfectly;

It is now with my other trophies of a life time;

Looks great 👍!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
