    I bet he would if you cut the head off and took it to him.

      The head is getting severed by a tractor bucket tomorrow...we were trying to figure out how to boil it like a deer head without damaging the horns

        Looks like its been there long enough for the horns to turn loose. Take a rubber mallet and beat on the horns while pulling them off.

            Thank you for the information we will try to slip them using a rubber mallet.

                      I did one that was found in that exact condition. Turned out perfect. Pop horns, mascerate it, degrease, then bleach.

                        Dip it!

                        Man I would love to dip that but it probably wouldn't fit in my tank!!!

                          Just finished one and started on another. The first one was found dead in the pasture like yours and we took a reciprocating saw and cut the head off. Then I found a large water tank that wasn't being used and macerated (rotted) the skull in water. If you go that route it shouldn't take him long to rot........he is already well on his way. The horns need to come off and cleaned. I usually fill them will borax and let them sit for a week or so. I would sand the horns down as smooth as desired starting with coarse sandpaper and finishing with fine. I cut the cores off about halfway before gluing the horns back on. Take some wide Jute twine and a hot glue gun to dress up where the horns meet the skull.

                            I can do it if you can get it to DFW. I recently did a water buffalo that was in similar condition.

                              I would take one like that but would charge the heck out of you. It’s a mess when they get to that condition.
