Type in "weathered antlers" . There are already 30 posts on this question available to you and you're bound to find a method you'd prefer.


Not really taxidermy, but interesting

During a recent snowstorm here in the Adirondacks, my neighbor turned on his flood light to check whether it was still snowing. He noticed a dark blob in his driveway and went out to see what it was. It turned out to be a headless wild turkey, still warm. Figuring our local gray fox was responsible, he looked for tracks but found none, just signs of a scuffle in the snow.
After eating the turkey (nothing wrong with it), he called a friend at ENCON and told him the story. Appears the killer was a horned owl. Seems they will knock a smaller turkey off the roost and then dispatch it. For some reason, (maybe some of you will know) the owl always tears off the head of its prey. Might have something to do with digestion. Anyway he said the turkey tasted great head or no head! Piper
