This is a great thread and we should keep updating it! I've been using tactacam for the past few seasons. First two seasons, they were great. Last season - they sucked! I am running 6 on our place and 3 out of the 6 just stopped sending pictures out of nowhere. (The cam kept saving pictures on...
3-5 weeks seems way longer than necessary for de-greasing, at least from what I've seen on whitetails. I have only done two but they have only degreased for a week and I think they look good. Not yellow looking at all. 3-5 weeks is probably better - probably depends on how picky you are too. I...
Thanks. I'm not sure honestly. What temperature are you at? I left mine for about a week and then sprayed it off and it was pretty much ready for degreasing...
Hey guys. Circling back to this old thread. Did my second head this year with warm water maceration (my son's buck). Turned out pretty good. Still fine tuning the process. I did a much better job skinning the skull this time, and it seemed to go quicker. I think my degreasing process still needs...
Price Reduced to $275! Selling my Sitka Cargo Box pack. This has only been used a handful of times and is in great shape. No blood stains or defects (pics below). If you would like to see a video about the pack you can click on this link: - if you don't want to click the link, then search for...
Thanks - there is virtually nothing left on the skull. Just one spot the size of a quarter on the back of the head - that's it. How long would you recommend degreasing? A week?
Hey guys. My son shot a small buck this year (his first deer) and I have been wanting to try maceration to clean the skull. I purchased the aquarium heater, skinned the head, removed the brains and eyes and have had it in the bucket for a week. Took it out today and it is getting close to done...
I bought these rings for my scope and I don't have enough clearance so I'm going to have to go to the higher rings. These are brand new 30 mm rings for the Tikka integrated rail. The company I bought them from won't return them so I'm trying to sell here. $65 shipped to you - thanks
I ended up not buying a tractor. Just couldn't justify the cost of a tractor vs the amount of use I was going to get out of it. This year I am trying the Jeff Sturgis no-till brassica method with buckwheat. Just using my UTV for this. Also, I built a cultipacker from a piece of 12" PVC culvert -...
