    Can't remember the size but it's been good. Just need to refine my own technique.
    Just remember not to have the Pedicle covered in boiling water. It won’t do the antlers any good, they can separate from the skull.
    I hook mine up with some wire to keep them out of the water.
    Also you can do yourself a favour and run a wood saw through the skull BEFORE BOILING after skinning, just under the eye socket. Takes the teeth off and gives you access to the brain which you can then scoop out before the boil. Cuts boiling time down. They can then be laid flat on a shield if you want to mount them that way.

    Like your set up though.

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
