AFIELD... WE ARE IN THE WOODS AND LOOKING TO FILL THE FREEZER WITH FRESH VENISON.

NEXT... >> COMING FROM THIS WAY.

>> ONE OF OUR FAVORITE DAYS OF THE YEAR IS THE OPEN DOVE SEASON.

>> GOOD SHOT.

>> THEN WE ARE GETTING YOU READY TO HARVEST A NICE BUCK BY SHOWING YOU HOW TO COMMEMORATE IT.

IT'S ALL NEXT ON "KENTUCKY AFIELD."

>> THAT'S A PRETTY FISH.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

>> THIS POND IS PLUM FLOATED WITH FROGS.

>> THEY'RE EVERYWHERE IN HERE.

(GUNSHOT) >> THIS IS A GOOD FISH RIGHT HERE.

A REALLY GOOD FISH.

>> COME HERE, GIRL.

>> THAT'S A BIG RABBIT.

>> NICE JOB.

>> YES!

MY FIRST MUSKY.

>> LEO!

♪ WE GOT A KEEPER!

>> THERE GOES.

BOOM!

>> WOW, THAT HAPPENED FAST.

>> HELLO, WELCOME TO KENTUCKY AFIELD.

I'M YOUR HOST CHAD MILES.

JOIN US AS WE JOURNEY THE COMMONWEALTH IN SEARCH OF OUTDOOR ADVENTURE.

THE FIRST MONTH OF THIS YOUR'S DEER SEASON WAS WARM BUT THE WEATHER IS GETTING RIGHT.

IT'S TIME TO GET IN A TREE STAND.

>> WELL, IT'S EARLY IN THE ARCHERY SEASON AND TODAY IS ACTUALLY MY SECOND TIME IN THE STAND.

I WAS SITTING AT HOME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS RAIN STORM COMES IN AND IT COOLED THE TEMPERATURE DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY.

I WAS LIKE OH MY GOSH, I GOT TO GET IN THE DEER STAND.

MY FIRST HUNT OF THE SEASON, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A REALLY, REALLY COOL HUNT, I GOT ABOUT RIGHT HERE ON A WALKING IN LAST TIME AND ABOUT GOT RAN OVER BY A SMALL BUCK.

GOT IN THE STAND, HAD A DOE WALK RIGHT UNDERNEATH ME.

PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE SHOT BUT AT THAT POINT IN TIME, WE HAD SEEN A PRETTY GOOD BUCK IN THE FIELD AND I WANTED TO GIVE THAT DEER A CHANCE TO MAKE ITS WAY TO ME.

HAD A GREAT HUNT AND NOW I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK IN THIS AFTERNOON.

CLOUD COVER AND A LITTLE RAIN.

TIME TO BE IN THE DEER STAND.

GOT ALL SET UP AND SETTLED DOWN.

I GOT A MAJOR SOY BEAN FIELD RIGHT HERE AND THE DEER ARE REALLY DESTROYING IT.

I KNOW THIS FARMER WOULD LOVE FOR ME TO TAKE A COUPLE DOES OUT OF HERE FOR HIM.

THE LAST TIME I HUNTED IN THIS STAND, THERE WAS A DEER THE WHOLE TIME WHEN I WALKED IN, CLIMBED UP THE TREE, SETTLED DOWN AND I LOOKED OUT THERE AND SAW ITS EARS MOVING AROUND.

THE DEER HAD BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME.

THERE COULD BE DEER REALLY CLOSE RIGHT NOW.

IN THE WOODS BEHIND ME I HAVE A HEAVILY USED TRAIL AND ON THE OTHER SIDE IS ANOTHER SOY BEAN FIELD SO THESE DEER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, THEY'RE GOING TO BED OR USE THIS TO MOVE TO DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE SHADE OR COOLER AREAS OF THE FIELD TO FEED.

THEY COULD SHOW UP ANY TIME.

I REALLY LIKE THIS SPOT THIS WEATHER IS CHANGING FAST.

WE HAD A RAIN STORM EARLIER TODAY AND NOW IT'S GOTTEN WINDY AND RAIN AND THEN SLOW UP.

THE DEER ARE ALREADY IN THE FIELD.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY THERE ARE, BUT THERE ARE CLOSE TO 10.

SO I KNOW THE DEER ARE MOVING.

AS LONG AS I SEE THEM OUT THERE I'LL TRY TO WAIT IT OUT.

THIS TYPE OF CONDITION REQUIRES A PERFECT SHOT.

IF I DON'T THINK I CAN MAKE IT ABSOLUTE PERFECT SHOT OR HOPE THAT I HEAR THE DEER GO DOWN, I PROBABLY WON'T SHOOT.

I DON'T WANT A SITUATION WHERE IT'S A DEER THAT I GOT TO RELY ON A BLOOD TRAIL BECAUSE WITH RAIN COMING AND GOING, I MAY NOT GET ONE.

I'M STILL VERY CONFIDENT.

I KNOW THOSE DEER ARE EXCITED TO BE GETTING THIS COOLER WEATHER, JUST LIKE I AM.

YOU DON'T GET THESE TYPE OF DAYS IN SEPTEMBER VERY OFTEN WHERE THE TEMPERATURE JUST BOTTOM FALLS OUT.

UNFORTUNATELY IT BROUGHT RAIN.

OH GOT A DOE 25 YARDS RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE BEANS.

ED I'VE GOT A TREE RIGHT HERE BETWEEN ME AND THE TREES.

-- I'VE GOT A DEER RIGHT HERE BETWEEN ME AND THE TREES.

OH THERE'S TWO.

THESE DEER ARE ALREADY IN RANGE BUT THEY GOT TO MAKE THEIR WAY TO ME IF THEY COME FORWARD EIGHT OR 10 YARDS, IT WILL BE A PERFECT SHOT ALL RIGHT.

THAT SECOND DOE IS THE BIGGEST.

THAT'S THE ONE I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET A SHOT AT.

THAT DEER IS HIT REALLY GOOD.

SHE'S GOING DOWN.

GOING TO GIVE IT THE NORMAL 30 MINUTES AND THEN GO CHECK IT OUT.

LAST NIGHT IN THE TREE STAND WE WERE HUNTING OUR SOY BEAN FIELD AND THERE WERE A COUPLE DOES THAT CAME BY AND WE LET THEM COME RIGHT UP TO US UNTIL I DECIDED ALL RIGHT, THIS IS A SHOT THAT I KNOW I CAN MAKE.

I THOUGHT I MADE A BEAUTIFUL SHOT.

THE DEER WENT ABOUT 10 YARDS, LAID DOWN IN THE SOY BEANS.

THOUGHT OKAY, THIS IS GREAT.

GOT DOWN OUT OF THE TREE, WALKED UP, ACTUALLY BUTCHED THE DEER.

HIVE BUMPED THE DEER.

I THOUGHT WITH THE RAIN THERE WAS NO WAY TO BLOOD TRAIL THE DEER.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO WAIT, COME BACK.

TEMPERATURES WOULD BE IN THE 40S AND BE COOL ALL NIGHT.

LET'S GET BACK IN HERE AND SEE WHAT WE COULD FIND.

WE DECIDED TO WALK THE CREEK BED AND LO AND BEHOLD ABOUT 200 YARDS FROM WHERE THE SHOT WAS TAKEN, HERE SHE IS LAYING RIGHT IN THIS CREEK.

COMPLETELY COLD, FEELS GREAT.

THE SHOT WAS RIGHT WHERE I THOUGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO TAKE A SHOT AND HIT THIS DEER RIGHT IN THE HEART.

THAT WAS THE PLAN.

END THIS REALLY QUICK, NO BLOOD TRAILING REQUIRED.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

THESE DEER ARE TOUGHER THAN YOU THINK.

LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SHOT.

NEXT TIME I'M GOING FOR TWO LUNGS BUT I CAN'T BE MORE EXCITED TO HAVE THIS TO PUT IN THE FREEZER EARLY IN THE BOW SEASON.

IF YOU LIKE SHOOTING A SHOTGUN GUN, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY YOUR LUCK AT FAST FLYING DOVES.

TODAY IN THE FIELD, SOMETHING YOU WON'T SOON FORGET.

THOMAS, HOW LONG HAS YOUR FAMILY BEEN HERE IN SPENCER COUNTY?

>> THEY HAVE BEEN ON THE FARM SINCE 1980.

>> OKAY.

>> SO THIS IS PRETTY MUCH ALL YOU KNOW THEN.

>> IT HAS BEEN HERE LONGER THAN I HAVE BEEN ALIVE.

>> YOU PUT SOME WORK IN HERE I SEE.

YOU'VE GOT SUNFLOWER SEEDS.

HEADS OUT HERE.

WHAT ELSE YOU GOT?

>> WE HAVE SOME SUNFLOWERS MIXED IN WITH THAT FOX TAIL AND UNFORTUNATELY THE JOHNSON GRASS CAME BACK.

I TRIED TO SPRAY IT AND KILL IT OFF BUT IT HAD SEEDED OUT AND CAME UP THICK.

BUT STILL ONCE IT'S BUSH HOGGED, IT'S STILL FULL OF SEED ON THE GROUND AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HOPING TO USE TO PULL IN SOME BIRDS TODAY.

>> THERE IS PROBABLY MORE PEOPLE ON SEPTEMBER 1 HUNTING IN THE WOODS OF KENTUCKY OR IN THE FIELDS THAN ANY OTHER DAY OF THE YEAR.

>> I BELIEVE THAT.

NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO HUNT SINCE THE SPRING TURKEY AND TODAY IS THEIR FIRST DAY TO KIND OF GET THEIR FIRST CRACK AT IT.

I HAVE BEEN ITCHING FOR MONTHS.

>> I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF PUT A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY AND YOU MAY HUNT THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE DAYS ALL YEAR AS FAR AS DOVE SEASON GETTING REALLY GOOD HUNTS.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> IT'S A LOT OF WORK BUT IT'S A LOVE IT'S A PASSION TO GET OUT HERE AND DO.

THIS I HOPE WE SHOOT GOOD.

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I SHOT A SHOTGUN.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

LET'S HOPEFULLY GET A COUPLE OF SHOTS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> LET'S DO IT.

>> THERE YOU GO.

>> NICE SHOT.

>> THANK YOU, CHAD.

THAT FELT GOOD.

>> BACKING UP AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO PULL THE TRIGGER.

YOU SMOKED IT.

>> FEELS GOOD TO GET ON THE BOARD FIRST ONE DOWN.

LET'S GET A FEW MORE.

10:00 CHAD HARD LEFT.

NICE SHOT.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW WE ARE STARTING TO GET SOME ACTION.

>> PULLING THE TRIGGER A LITTLE BIT.

GOING TO WALK OUT THERE AND GRAB THAT ONE BEFORE I FORGET WHERE IT'S AT.

WELL, THAT'S THE FIRST DOVE OF 2021.

>> STARTED OUT SLOW BUT WE ARE STARTING TO SEE A LOT MORE BIRDS.

STILL NOT DOING A LOT OF SHOOTING BUT IT'S A NICE CASUAL AFTERNOON WITH GOOD FRIENDS OUT HERE SHOOTING DOVES.

>> ONE NICE THING ABOUT HAVING YOUR OWN FIELD, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS FOR THE PAST WEEK AND RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US, THIS SEEMS TO BE WHERE THE MAJORITY WANT TO COME IN AND START FEEDING.

YOU HAVE THE POWER LINE TO THE LEFT, LIKE LANDING THERE.

WE WON'T SHOOT THEM OFF THE WIRE, THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE.

>> I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD.

HERE WE GO.

>> NICE SHOT.

>> I SEE THE FEATHERS.

ALL RIGHT.

BIRDS ARE STARTING TO FLY BETTER.

HOPEFULLY THE LAST TWO HOURS IS GOING TO GET HOT AND HEAVY WITH SOME BIRD ACTION.

>> THEY'RE FLYING DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY WE SCOUTED.

THEY WERE ALWAYS COMING IN FROM THIS WAY AND NOW TODAY THEY'RE COMING IN BEHIND US.

WELL, YOU CAN'T SEE THEM UNTIL THEY'RE ALMOST RIGHT ON TOP OF YOU SO YOU ARE GOING HAVE TO MAKE SOME PRETTY QUICK SHOTS.

BUT THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I'M OUT HERE TO SHOOT.

I DON'T HAVE TO HIT THEM ALL.

MISSING THEM IS PART OF THE GAME.

LANDED AT THE MOJO.

THINK WE SHOULD WALK OUT THERE AND FLUSH THAT BIRD.

>> WE CAN GET AT LEAST TO THE FIRST ROW.

JUMP SHOOT THE DOVES.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE FIELD WAS REALLY FULL, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO DO BUT IN THIS SITUATION, WE ARE HUNTING 120 SOMETHING ACRE FARM WITH FOUR PEOPLE.

WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE EVERYBODY IS LOCATED.

HE WAS ABLE TO WALK OUT THERE AND KNOWS EXACTLY HIS TARGET AND WAS ABLE TO GO OUT THERE AND TAKE THE BIRD.

KNOWING WHERE EVERYBODY WAS AT, THAT WAS A SAFE SHOT.

GOOD JOB.

NICE SHOT.

I KNOW HOW I MISSED HIM.

I NEVER SHOT.

>> WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE.

WELL, CAN'T HIT 'EM IF YOU DON'T SHOOT 'EM.

HAD MY SAFETY ON, PULLED THE TRIGGER AND NO BANG.

HERE WE GO.

>> STARTING TO FLY NOW.

>> YES, SIR.

SEE IF WE CAN GET A FEW MORE.

THEY'RE STARTING TO FLY A LITTLE BETTER.

LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> THAT'S NOT A DOVE.

>> HE LIKES THAT MOJO THOUGH.

IF THERE IS A DOVE FLY AGO CROSS THE FIELD AND THEY GET A GLIMPSE OF IT, THEY'LL TURN 90 DEGREES AND COME STRAIGHT FOR IT.

HERE IS ANOTHER ONE.

>> NICE SHOT.

YOU JUST SHOT THE WING OFF HIM.

>> EXCELLENT SHOT.

I DIDN'T EVEN SEE YOURS.

COMING FROM THIS WAY.

GOOD SHOT.

THAT WAS A GOOD SHOT.

THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO HIT THE DECOY.

TOOK OFF ABOUT THE TIME HE SMASHED IT.

NICE SHOT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU OR I GOT THAT.

>> I GOT THE FIRST ONE, YOU GOT THE SECOND.

HERE WE THOUGHT THIS GAME WAS ABOUT OVER AND HERE THEY COME.

THAT'S THERE IS SOME GOOD TEAMWORK, MAN.

>> THEY WANTED THAT MOJO.

>> HE TOOK A SECOND TO FIND.

>> WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU HAVING US OUT.

OPENING DAY, THE WEATHER WAS GREAT.

SAW PLENTY OF BIRDS.

WOE DIDN'T GET OUR LIMIT BUT WE HAD A LIMIT WORTH OF FUN.

>> I AGREE.

OPENING DAY, THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT.

THE FIRST TIME WE WERE MENTIONING I HAVEN'T BEEN SWEATING.

IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE.

>> WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SPEND AN AFTERNOON.

HAVEN'T HAD A GUN IF MY HAND IN A WHILE.

GO IT TO SHOOT AT SOME BIRDS, MISSED MOST OF THEM BUT THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US OUT.

>> GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT OUT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> MANY OF OUR DEER FIREARM SEASONS ARE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ECONOMICAL WAY TO PRESERVE YOUR TROPHY, MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT A EUROPEAN MOUNT.

I'M HERE WITH CHASE TODAY AND WE ARE HERE TO DEMONSTRATE A WAY THAT A PERSON CAN PRESERVE A DEER HUNT WITHOUT SPENDING A TON OF MONEY ON A TAXIDERMIST.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THE EURO MOUNTS ARE A COST EFFECTIVE METHOD.

>> YOUR MOUNT IS ABOUT REMOVING HAIR AND FLESH AND GETTING IT DOWN TO JUST LITERALLY BONE.

BONE AND ANTLER, RIGHT.

>> YOU CAN REMOVE THE FLESH, CLEAN THE SKULL AND ESSENTIALLY THERE YOU GO.

>> IT HAPPENED ONE OF OUR VIDEOGRAPHERS TOOK A REALLY NICE BUCK AND HE IS GOING TO ALLOW US TO DEMONSTRATE THIS PROCESS TODAY.

THIS IS THE WAY THAT WE CAN SHOWCASE EXACTLY HOW TO DO THIS FOR SOMEONE WHO MAY WANT TO TRY IT.

WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.

WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IS A SET OF SHARP KNIVES, RUBBER GLOVES TO PROTECT YOUR HANDS, A COUPLE PACER OF NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS.

THE SAME WITH FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVERS, GUN CLEANING FIX, PEROXIDE DEVELOPER PIECE, SMALL PAINT BRUSHES AND CUPS TO HOLD YOUR PEROXIDE DEVELOPER.

ELECTRICAL TAPE, YOUR POT, PAN AND BURNER.

THE FIRST STEP IS WE ARE GOING TO REMOVE ALL THE HIDE, THE EARS, THE NOSE AND THEN SOME OF THE MEAT THAT WE CAN GET OFF.

SO BIGGEST THING YOU WANT IS A DEBONING KNIFE THAT HAS A LITTLE FLEXIBILITY TO IT, JUST SO YOU CAN GET IN AND AROUND THE INTRICATE PARTS OF THE HEAD.

SO WHEN YOU ARE DOING THIS, YOU REALLY WANT TO BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR KNIFE CUTS AND YOU DO NOT WANT TO CUT DOWN INTO THE BONE.

WE ARE JUST GOING TO KEEP PEELING THE HIDE DOWN AWAY FROM THE MOUTH.

YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL AROUND HERE SO YOU DON'T CUT OR SCRAPE UP THE TEETH.

AND YOU ARE JUST GOING TO KEEP CONTINUING TO WORK THIS HIDE ALL THE WAY DOWN.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TAKING THIS HIDE OFF IN ONE PIECE IF YOU NEED TO IT'S PERFECTLY FINE TO SECTION IT OUT.

PEEL A PIECE AND START ON ANOTHER ONE, SECTION IT OUT, KEEP PEELING.

ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE NOSE.

AT THIS POINT WE HAVE ALL THE HIDE REMOVED.

SO WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS GO THROUGH AND REMOVE AS MUCH EXCESS MEAT OFF THE SKULL AS POSSIBLE.

AT THIS POINT YOU DON'T WANT TO USE A WHOLE LOT OF DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE NOSE BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO SHATTER THE DELICATE BONES.

YOU WANT TO GO IN AND REMOVE THE TONGUE AND THE EYES.

THEY DO BOIL OUT IF YOU WOULD RATHER DO THE THAT.

IT HELPS TO GET THE HOT WATER DOWN INTO THE CAVITY QUICKER.

WHERE YOU WANT YOUR WATER TEMPERATURE IS JUST A REALLY LOW SIMMER.

YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED A ROLLING BOIL FOR THIS.

EVERY 30 TO 45 MINUTES YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND CHECK YOUR WATER TEMPERATURE AND WATER LEVEL AS THIS WILL EVAPORATE OVER TIME.

WE ARE IN ABOUT HOUR THREE, ABOUT READY TO TAKE IT OUT AND PRESSURE WASH IT.

AROUND WEEK TWO, WE PULL IT OUT AND PUT IT ON THE TABLE AND PULLED THE MAJORITY OF THE MEAT OFF WITH THE NEEDLE NOSE FLIERS.

A REALLY IMPORTANT STEP.

WE REMOVED THE JAW BONE AND GOT OFF AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLE POSSIBLY COULD TO ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE COOKING IN THE LAST HOUR.

WHENEVER WE REMOVE ALL THE MEAT, IT DRASTICALLY REMOVED THE WEIGHT ON THE FRONT END AND CAUSED IT TO TIP FORWARD.

WE RIGGED UP AN APPARATUS TO HOLD IT UP.

YOU MAY NEED TO DO THE SAME.

PRIOR TO PRESSURE WASHING, I LIKE TO REMOVE THE TWO NOSE BONES BECAUSE THEY'RE FRAGILE AND I DON'T WANT TO BREAK THEM.

AFTER YOU GET THEM REMOVED AND DRIED, IT'S EASY TO GLUE THEM BACK IN LATER.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED, I LIKE TO PUT DOWN A TOWEL TO PROTECT THE SKULL AND KEEP ANYTHING FROM BLOWING UP AGAINST IT.

I LIKE TO SET IT UP AGAINST A HARD SURFACE TO PREVENT IT FROM SPINNING AROUND WHERE YOU ARE PRESSURE WASHING IT AND WEAR KNEE HIGH RUBBER BOOTS.

A BUNCH OF NASTY DEBRIS FLYING OFF OF THIS AND YOU DON'T WANT IT ON YOU.

NOW THAT WE HAVE THE FRONT SPRAYED OFF, WE ARE GOING TO FLIP IT OVER AND PAD UP THE BOTTOM AND STICK THE END OF THE PRESSURE WASHER INTO THE SPINAL COLUMN HOLE AND FLUSH OUT THE BRAIN MATTER.

OKAY SO NOW WE'VE GOT ALL THE MEAT SPRAYED OFF AND IT'S ON TO THE NEXT STEP.

SOMETIMES THE PRESSURE WASHER CAN MISS SMALL PIECES OF MEAT, ESPECIALLY IN THE NASAL CALF CAVITY SO IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO GO IN AND REMOVE IT FROM THE SKULL.

NOW WE'LL SOAK THE SKULL IN A POT OF WATER WITH CLEAR DISH WASHING SOAP TO HELP REMOVE OILS AND GREASE FROM THE SKULL.

ABSOLUTELY MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS BUT IT HELPS SPEED THE PROCESS IF YOU HAVE A HEAT LAMP NEXT TO THE CONTAINER.

THE WARM WATER HELPS TO DRAW THE OILS OUT FASTER.

LET IT SOAK TWO TO THREE WEEKS, CHANGING THE WATER EVERY FEW FEW DAYS A OR A WEEK WHENEVER IT IS CLOUDY.

REMOVE IT FROM THE WATER AND LET IT DRY.

WE PRE-WHITENED THIS SECTION OF THE NOSE BONE AND THE CORRESPONDING SECTION OF THE SKULL JUST SO THAT IT WILL MAKE GLUE UP EASIER AND NO COLOR WILL BLEED THROUGH.

NEXT STEP WE ARE GOING TO ATTACH THE NOSE BONES WITH THE BLUE AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO WHITEN THE ENTIRE SKULL WITH THE CREAM DEVELOPER.

WITH THE NOSE PIECES MAKE SURE AND DRY FIT IT FIRST PRIOR TO PUTTING THE GLUE ON IT JUST IN CASE A PIECE OF BONE HAS SHIFTED OR MAYBE SOMETHING IS OUT OF LINE YOU CAN GO IN WITH SAND PAPER AND A FINE FILE AND FILE IT DOWN WHERE IT MEETS UP EASIER.

THIS IS MEETING UP PRETTY GOOD SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GLUE IT.

WHAT I LIKE TO USE IS JUST A NORMAL SUPER GLUE.

YOU WANT TO USE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WATER SOLUBLE OR HEAT SOLUBLE SO YOU DON'T HAVE WORRIES OR ANYTHING WITH IT COMING APART ON YOU.

BUT YOU'LL PUT A DAB OF GLUE WHERE IT'S GOING TO MEET THE SKULL AND I LIKE TO PUT A DAB OF GLUE ON THE INSIDE OF THE NOSE BONE AND IT IS SUPER GLUE SO DO YOU HAVE TO ADD PRETTY QUICKLY.

WE ARE GOING TO HOLD IT UNTIL IT DRIES.

TIME FOR THE OTHER SIDE NOW THAT THE NOSE BONES ARE DRY, WE'LL APPLY THE PEROXIDE CREAM DEVELOPER PASTE.

PRIOR TO DOING THAT, A GOOD IDEA IS TO TAKE SIMPLE ELECTRICAL TAPE AND WRAP THE BASE OF YOUR ANTLERS.

THAT WAY NONE OF THE DEVELOPER GETS UP ON THE COLORED ANTLER AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT BLEACHING OUT.

I LIKE TO GO THREE TO FOUR INCHES UP THE ANTLER.

NOW THAT WE HAVE THOSE WRAPPED WE'LL APPLY THE PASTE.

WHAT WE ARE USING HERE IS A PEROXIDE CREAM DEVELOPER PASTE.

YOU CAN PICK THIS UP FROM AMAZON OR A SALON.

TODAY WE HAVE 40% BY VOLUME WHICH IS ABOUT 12% APPROXIMATE APEROXIDE WHICH IS AS STRONG AS YOU CAN GET OVER THE COUNTER.

A THIN COAT OF THE PASTE OVER THE ENTIRE SKULL.

IT HELPS TO HAVE A SMALL BRUSH SO YOU CAN GET DOWN INTO THE NOOKS AND CRANNYIES I ALSO LIKE TO GET THIS IN BETWEEN EACH INDIVIDUAL TOOTH.

THE TEETH HOLD MORE OIL AND THERE WILL BE A LITTLE MORE DISCOLORED.

SO THEY MAY TAKE TWO OR THREE APPLICATIONS.

ONCE YOU HAVE THIS APPLIED, LET IT DRY SIX TO EIGHT HOURS OVERNIGHT IS BEST.

ONCE IT'S DRIED, YOU NEED TO GO IN AND TAKE A STIFF BRISTLE BRUSH AND RINSE IT UNDER HOT WATER AND SCRUB THE REMAINING PEROXIDE OFF.

ONCE IT IS DRY, YOU CAN EVALUATE IT.

IF IT IS TO THE POINT OF BEING AS WIDE AS YOU WANT, GOOD, IF NOT, ALL HAVE YOU TO DO IS GO BACK AND REAPPLY THE PASTE AND CONTINUE THE PROCESS UNTIL YOU GET IT TO WHERE YOU WANT IT.

A EUROPEAN MOUNT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AND IT'S A FEW STEPS.

BUT IT'S A GREAT INEXPENSIVE AND VERY MEMORABLE WAY TO COMMEMORATE YOUR HARVEST.

>> NOW LET'S CHECK IN AND SEE WHO ELSE HAS BEEN HAVING FUN IN THIS WEEK'S ONES THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY.
