Nice Head Tristan.

When is a Head Worth Keeping?

Whenever You consider it worthy.

I had a 32" Ginger and White Billy Shoulder mounted not because it was 32" but because it took a lot of effort to finally get him and I considered this a worthy head.

Now next question, how can I prep it so I can keep it, im new to all this

What kind of mount?

Pretty much skull and horns is all id be after

Boil it. Think its called euro mount? Google would have a step by step or someone here

Take all the skin and as much meat of now then boil it slowly but be careful not to submerge horns as they will cook on and you may never get them off.
Add a bit of dishwashing liquid when boiling

Then pull the horns of and clean them up to if you want

You want to get some peroxide to make the skull white. I use something cslled baquashock that you get from farmlands etc and dilute it as its 30% peroxide

The one I got I buried the skull in the compost heap for about 3 months with the horns poking out so they wouldn't rot. After that I just left it outside for the bugs to finish cleaning it up and the sun to bleach it. Lazy mans option, seemed to work.

Just heard that a farmer from Norsewood went down their drive this morning to shift their goat and all that was left was the bloody head.
Theres some fkun aresholes out there

ive got plenty of trophys my 1st trophy is only something like 20 but it was my 1st goat and with a open sight 222. ive got a huge range of them now but try not take any under 32. biggest is 36. with cleaning it up I suggest skinning the head and remove as much meat as you can then boil it for ages (open all windows because it STINKS) then scape the meat of (should just fall off) then sit it in a bucket of bleach over night then let it dry for a couple of days. once that is done carefully get a knife up under the casing of the horns and lift it of the bone. the casings should come of after a bit of mucking around. then put them up high to dry for a week or 2. this is what I do for my wall hangers.

heres my 36

would like to know what the record is if any one knows thanks

136DS i think?
