You have just spent time and money on having your hunt preserved. Now you need to take care of it, so it will last a life time. Everyone thinks that it will last a life time. This is not always the case, the hide has been treated with a tan. This keeps the skin from spoiling. There are all kinds of insects that love to eat hair follicles, horns and leather. There are dermestid (insects), moths that lay eggs in your mounts and when hatched, they eat at the hair follicles, horn, etc. there is nothing in the tan that will stop this anymore. Years ago the tanner could use Arsenic in the tanning process.
But the EPA stopped the tanners from using strong toxic chemicals.
So here are some basic things to do to help your mounts to last.
