About BoozeMan Outdoors Euro Mounts

The name makes the specialty clear: euro mounts, which have become one of the most popular ways to display a trophy skull. Shady Side sits in solid hunting country, with the Bay watershed drawing waterfowl hunters and the surrounding woodlands producing consistent deer harvests. This shop caters to hunters who want a clean, modern look for their trophy room.

Services & Process

Euro mounts involve removing all soft tissue from the skull and whitening the bone to produce a clean, striking display piece. The process typically uses maceration or beetles to clean the skull, followed by a whitening treatment using hydrogen peroxide rather than bleach, which can weaken bone over time. BoozeMan Outdoors specializes in this style of mount for deer, hogs, and other big game animals. Some shops also offer antler mounting on plaques and European skull panels for customers who want a finished display-ready piece.

Service Area

BoozeMan Outdoors Euro Mounts is based in Shady Side, Maryland, serving Anne Arundel County and the surrounding communities along the western Chesapeake Bay shoreline. Hunters from Edgewater, Deale, and Churchton are all a short drive away. The shop also draws customers from the broader Annapolis area looking for a euro mount specialist rather than a general taxidermist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a euro mount and how does it look on display?
A euro mount is the cleaned and whitened skull of a deer or other animal, displayed with the antlers still attached. It has a minimalist, natural look that works well in both traditional hunting camps and modern home decor settings.
How long does a euro mount take compared to a shoulder mount?
Euro mounts are much faster to complete, typically taking a few weeks rather than the six to twelve months a shoulder mount requires. The process is simpler and doesn't require the same level of skin preparation, form work, or finishing detail.
Is a euro mount cheaper than a traditional shoulder mount?
Yes, euro mounts are generally significantly less expensive than shoulder mounts because they require fewer materials and less labor. This makes them a popular choice for hunters who want to preserve multiple trophies without a large upfront cost.
Do I need to remove the antlers before bringing in a deer for a euro mount?
No, you should leave the antlers attached. The taxidermist needs the full skull with antlers intact to do the work properly. Just bring in the entire head, cut at the base of the neck.
Can a euro mount be done on animals other than deer?
Absolutely. Euro mounts are common for bear, elk, hogs, coyotes, and even some waterfowl skulls. If you're unsure whether your specific animal is a good candidate, a quick call to the shop before drop-off is always a good idea.
How do I keep a euro mount clean and white over time?
Keep the mount out of direct sunlight, which will yellow the bone over time, and dust it gently with a soft brush. If it starts to discolor, a light treatment with diluted hydrogen peroxide can restore whiteness without damaging the bone.
