Thread: 2020 SHOT STAGS

Here's a 12 I got pre lock down. All butchered up at home now and trying to figure out how to clean the skull as I don't have a steel pot and didn't realise id come out to a complete lock down. Was holding 7 hinds but not making any noise. Way up high so waro obviously didn't hit them too bad this year. Now 4 weeks at home hoping no one spreads this thing further and the lock down ends.

If you don't have a pot or a 44 gallon drum you can cut down, just clean it up as best you can with a knife then bury it in the garden leaving the antlers exposed and nature will do the rest.
I have mine cleaned up but no way to bleach it, have made my shield to mount it on too but no way to buy long jib screws with anchors to mount the skull to the shield either so kind a stalled on my mount, gonna have a fosic through the shed see if I can find what I need

You will just need a bucket.
