    3 hours in salon grade peroxide and its looking pretty good, I'll let it dry completely and re assess in the morning as to if it needs another soak in peroxide.
    If not I'll paint the skull with a 50/50mix of pva and thinners then do the horns with some hoof oil

    Good work.

    Does it still stink like a Billy with 20 years of piss on him? I have a head that's 2 years old in my she'd and that bastard is still getting revenge for being shot. Open the shed door on a hot summer day and - BAM! - stinky goat smell.

    Hey Danny. Couldn’t help but recognise the box you’ve got your trophy sitting on. My wife leads a Norwex team with a few recruits out your way. She’s Marie.

    Finally done, so much work from the hunt, the carry and then the mount.
    I'm pretty bloody stoked with how it came out. First ever attempt and I reckon I nailed it.
