I did quite a bit of internet reading on DIY euro mounts, and I decided that the maceration method was the best for my situation: relatively low-maintenance, keeps the skull completely intact (nasal bones), and I had almost all of the gear to do it (save the aquarium tank heater). So, now I have a deer head in a heated 5-gallon bucket that is itself inside of a plastic bin. It's day 8 or 9, and I just changed the water. It smells terrible, of course, but almost exactly like a few-days old baited crab pot, weirdly enough. There is still a decent amount of flesh on there, so I am think it'll need another week or two at least. Whenever it gets done, I'll post some pics here.
Who else has used maceration to do a euro mount? Would you do it again?
