Head in a Tree...

[Tim.243]

I put this Fallow Buck head quite a way up a tree on Aug 23rd (shot on the 22nd) lashed with a cord, being in velvet they are never as nice as when shot clean, but they all eat the same lol
Will go back at the end of the month for a look.

Higher up that tree of yours or maybe down the proverbial “rabbit hole”……it does make me wonder……seems you wonder too

Tried tossing it into water? skin usually just mummifies onto them.

bag over it preferably autum is coming you dont want leaves falling into the water and tannins leaching into the water and staining it

Too dry to leave them at least where I live same deer are still sitting on the same tree since 2021 skin just mummified on them It never really slips off nicely plus prying of skin on a stinking deer head isnt pleasant.

They stink being submerged in water but at least there flesh and skin free within about a month and a bit.

Good for you but I will leave it there...

This muntjac head was left in the hedge on it's own...found it some time later no skin staining, only white

Or of course the alternative, 30 minutes boiling, not in the kitchen, and five minutes with a pressure washer
