Hawaiian Goat

Beeswax gives the horns a nice look, I think.

That makes the euro look awesome. Do you have to apply it every so often? Or is it one and done type deal?

I’ve never reapplied. You might need to, but I’m guessing it would take years before you did.

I rubbed them with a block of beeswax, then melt it in with a heat gun, then buff with a clean rag. Really helps it get into all the nooks and crannies.

SquirrelyDan, who did the mount for you? Or did you do it yourself? I've done several muleys and elk myself, but boiling a head at the beach front condo in Maui might not go over so well...

I did it myself at my family’s place. Funny enough we don’t boil them, we pressure wash the heads. It is definitely a dirtier process, but the results are fantastic. Maui Taxidermy could certainly clean one up for ya. Haha yeah the normal tourists wouldn’t appreciate that! My last trip in November I brought the wife and got a friends condo on the water for her, while i stayed with fam upcountry. Day before we left I was washing out my bloody pack and gear at the condo, neighbors weren’t having it

If your asking about gun and glass I’d argue yes.

6mm plus is plenty (I shot everything with a 6.5C) and 8x+ binos and no spotter is likely fine.

I used 12x and no spotter there and likely over kill. Not sure I ever saw anything more than 800 yds away.
