Not sure this will get as many views here but here it goes. Had a local guy do a European mount on my daughters first Bull. He had it 3 weeks is all and has the beetles. When I dropped it off and he raised his garage door, I was blown away at the smell. I picked it up 3 days ago and this thing smells horrible like his garage did. I’m not so sure a lot of it isn’t coming from the antlers. My hands smell after touching them. I even painted volume 40 peroxide on skull 3 times and rinsed. Some of the dead beetles are still up the nasal. The guy was cheap and it looks nice but this smell is bad and I’m taking it to a contest in less than 3 weeks. Any recommendations on what to maybe spray on antlers to help with the odor? I read about linseed oil and have sprayed a little Lysol on them but before getting carried away I thought I’d put a post here and see if I get any ideas. Thanks for any responses!
