My dog destroyed my euro mount!!

[fullstrut]

Help! Shot my first bull this fall and just got my euro mount back… laid it in my basement to get ready to hang and came back to find my dog completely chewed off half the skull. Any recommendations of places with extra bull skulls? I can’t swallow having to mount him on a fake skull or any other way.

You would only need the top half of the skull and a donor cape from someone to do a shoulder mount instead as an option.

Bring into a taxi and discuss your options, they'll steer you in the best direction.

What about skull capping it?

That sucks buddy my dog ate the nose off a bull I was boiling last year, went to town for more propane and set it on the wood pile till I got back, turns out that was a bad idea!
Sounds like that bull is destined for a plaque mount

That’s a heartbreaker. A similar thing happened to me a few years ago. I had a nice 6 point euro and had it leaned up against my work bench. My FIL accidentally stepped on the nose and snapped it off. I ended up taking it to my taxidermist and having him do an antler panel mount. Not was I was wanting but I’m actually very happy with it.

Talk with your local taxidermist. I do a few each year with reproduction skulls. Your taxidermist should be able to get you one and take care of you. They are not quite as nice as the original skull but they are still very good

These guys make realistic looking skulls. Expensive but it's an option

look up mountain Mike europeon sculls - they make fake elk and deer sculls, They work great.

Skull cap then put velvet over the skull cap on a plaque looks nice.

I had pretty much the same thing happen, the dog ate the nose portion off a deer skull. I’ll never make that mistake again!

Bummer, that sucks. I think I’d look at doing a skull cap as well.

I would probably just cut it into a skull cap and hang it over the dog rug...

Try HERE after setting up an account. State exactly what you need and you should easily find what you are looking for. You didn't post pics, so are you hoping to use your existing skull cap/filler/paint or glue/dowel the antlers on a replacement real skull? Do you want a skull with the nasal passages included or not? Already cleaned/whitened? Like any site, lots of scams whenever you post a WTB ad. Good luck.

Had a bird dog eat a wood duck mount once. Such a bummer.

Like others have said, a good taxidermist can fix anything

Let's see some pictures

Personally if it was me I'd mount it euro anyway and the story would go, I killed my first bull and my dog killed the mount.

When that dog passes you'll have something to remember him by when you look at that mount.

Scratch his ears, give him some treats, and tell him he's a good dog.

Lesson learned. I would just leave it as it is and hang it up.
