Thanks!

Do you have a video of drilling the actual hole in the back of the skull? My son's first skull and was very nervous about breaking part of the skull. We have no experience in this. Is the skull sturdy enough to not break? Any help will be appreciated.

[@The5MFamily]

If it is a doe or a small buck we don't use the boiling process, we macerate. Doing this process will remove all the brain matter, and you won't need to pop out the ears. Young deer and does are super fragile. Using the drill on them can and almost will break the bone at the back of the skull.

What if i want to mount it to a glass mirror. Im using a steer

[@The5MFamily]

Good luck…

You are so welcome!

thx i’m trying to mount a buck skull rn

[@dellboyrodney8046]

Hope you can help I've 2 heads to mount. My question is what size screw did you use. Thanks in advance

[@The5MFamily]

The plaques I order come with the screws so I won’t know the exact size. You can buy individual screws at Home Depot. Go buy a 2”, 2.5”, etc. one of them will work.

[@dellboyrodney8046]

@5MFamilyHomestead Thanks for the help. Sorry for the late reply. I'm just noticing your reply keep up the good work and thanks again 👍🏻

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

Very cool stuff right there, one day we will get a deer worthy of mounting haha

[@The5MFamily]

If you do let me know and I will take care of yall. And maybe we can do a collaboration video!

Do you get rid of the nasal bones inside the nose cavity?

[@The5MFamily]

On the deer I boil I DO. On the deer I clean with beetles I DO NOT.

[@UNOM]

@@The5MFamily Perfect answer, I see why, I boil and they can be saved but can you do it in a timely manner and still make a buck?? Your not quite on a time clock with the beetles you just let them do there thing. Thanks for the reply Daniel Tobin.

[@owenjones8075]

What kind of mounting hardware do you use to hang it on the wall?

[@The5MFamily]

We use skull hangers from Taxidermist Woodshop in Wichita Falls, Texas.

[@owenjones8075]

@@The5MFamily for the back of the plaque where it hangs on the wall?

[@a.j.torres231]

Where do you get your Plaque.

[@scotaugustine6353]

How long were the screws you used?

[@The5MFamily]

Not exact sure. They came with the plaque. Around 2-2.5 inches.

[@brianmontero4644]

Where do you order your plaques from?

[@The5MFamily]

The Taxidermist Woodshop

[@mators-creations]

What size drill bit did you use ?

[@The5MFamily]

Not sure. It needs to be slightly smaller than the screw

[@mators-creations]

@@The5MFamily ok gotcha well what's the best website to buy them at ?

[@Red_White_Blue_First_USA]

I added a question and now it is gone.

[@Red_White_Blue_First_USA]

I noticed you have switched from beetles to boiling, is there a specific reason why?
