Trophy Care: A memory that lasts
A good buck, a strong stag or an old boar stays with you for a long time. With careful trophy care you can preserve that memory for decades. The key is to work promptly and cleanly: the skull is cleaned and whitened while the antlers stay protected and keep their natural colour. The right equipment makes this job easier, safer and far more satisfying, even if it is your first trophy.
Cutting and boiling
The Eurohunt skull cutting jig holds the head firmly while you saw the skull cleanly. That way the cut comes out straight and even. The Eurohunt boiling stand then holds the skull in the pot so that only the bone sits in the water. The antlers stay out, because hot water would bleach them and they would lose their colour. The trophy cleaner in 250 g or 1 kg packs helps you loosen tissue from the bone more easily, which saves time and keeps the bone intact.
Care for decades
Once the trophy has dried, it is time for aftercare. The trophy care liquid refreshes the antlers and protects them from drying out. Trophy wax gives a subtle sheen and forms a protective layer against dust and moisture. Apply both thinly and polish with a soft cloth. That way your trophy stays good looking on the wall or on its shield for many years and remains a reminder of a special day in the field.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a roe deer skull need to be boiled?
It depends on the size and age of the animal, but for a roe skull it is usually one to two hours at a gentle simmer. Check now and then whether the tissue comes away easily, and do not boil for longer than necessary.
What can I do if the antlers have turned pale while boiling?
Trophy care products can often refresh the colour a little. To stop it happening at all, always keep the antlers above the water with the boiling stand.
Do I have to present my trophy at a trophy show?
In some regions certain trophies have to be presented. Ask your local hunting authority or game management group what applies to your ground.
Prepare and care for trophies properly
A trophy is more than a wall decoration; it tells the story of a special day out hunting. To keep it looking good for a long time, careful preparation and the right aftercare are what count. With the Eurohunt skull cutting jig you saw the skull straight, and the boiling stand then holds it in the pot so the antlers stay out of the water and keep their colour. The trophy cleaner helps you loosen tissue more easily. Once everything has dried, trophy care liquid and trophy wax protect against dust and drying out and add a subtle sheen. Apply both thinly and polish with a soft cloth, and you will enjoy your trophy for years. Hang it somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight, because strong light and warm air from radiators make antlers fade and turn brittle over time.
