If you want to remove dust, try a damp washcloth but go lightly on the cleaning. You do not want to dislodge the hairs, or the mount will end up looking like it was mangy.

There is no need to be concerned about germs, especially if the mount is more than at a few months old. Basically, once the hide is completely cured and dried, it's no different than having a fur coat hanging in your closet. For that matter, if in doubt ask your furrier what the recommended way to clean a rabbit-skin or fox hide coat is. Then follow those same guidelines for a deer mount.

Lastly, don't apply any polish or anything to the antlers and don't clean them with anything but a damp cloth. Otherwise, they may no longer look natural, which was the objective of the taxidermist. And it would dishonor the animal. The natural-looking mount is a time-honored tradition for honoring an especially notable game animal or bird.

If an animal has been mounted correctly the fur will not come out. The taxidermist I use instructed me not to wet the mount in any way. This will cause mold to form on the skin in turn ruining the mout. He said to lightly dust the fur with a dry wash cloth with a very small amount of pledge furniture polish. Do not wet your mount, It will ruin it!!

In NJ and some parts of New York we've seen bucks chasing does already but the does arent ready. I don't know if the rut has fully kicked in for the bucks, but this weekend (oct. 23) is a great moonphase to hunt, so if the rut is starting now like i think it is, Saturday will be great.

Kangaroos and deer are both mammals, giving birth to live young which feed on mothers' milk.

Both creatures are capable of jumping very high, due to the structure of the tendons and ligaments in their hind legs.

Kangaroos and deer are both essentially herbivorous.

They are both found in Australia, although the kangaroo is native to Australia and the deer is introduced.

Both animals are farmed for their meat.

By all means yes! Male and female (vixens) foxes will eat baby deer if they can get past their mothers and close enough to them. They're surprisingly strong and will go for the throat and drag the dead fawn back to their dens.

Scientific studies have proven that deer movement is directly related to changes in external stimuli such as weather, barometric pressure, temperature, rain, windchill etc. Temperatureplays a major part in the feeding times and movement of whitetail deer and many other types of big games animals. Deer, much like people, will stop moving altogether when the temperature gets too warm or too cold. The comfort zone for deer varies from state to state and from region to region. The ScopeWatch, a digital rifle scope temperature display will allow a hunter to observe, record, and pattern deer movement in a given area based upon temperature changes. For a more thorough understanding of these methods, and to put temperature changes to work for you, check out the ScopeWatch.

Deer are ruminants, (animals with multi-chambered stomachs) that have cloven hooves more closely related to cattle and antelope than to horses (simple stomach with single hoof). Taxonomically they diverge from each other at the level of Order. Deer are order Cervidae, and horses are order Equidae.

You can't really, unless you've seen it done yourself. In most areas it's illegal to hunt at night anyway, so if you see a deer that has been shot, you can't really tell if it has indeed been shot at night or during the daytime.

Deer is gender neutral, so there IS no opposite. Male deer are bucks, female does.

It's referred to as "safety in numbers". With a large group it's harder for the predators to pick out individuals. Biggest advantage is during birthing season. The young animals are always vulnerable, but in a herd the females can synchronize the births. When there are more new born each day than the predators can handle more of them survive. If they were born at a steady trickle the predators could just pick off a few more each day.
