I got my pronghorn buck back from my taxidermist - looks good but smells like it did when it was just killed. Especially in the area of the cheek patches. I took it back and the taxidermist agreed it really smelled - not a rotten smell just normal antelope smell. He worked on it and tried deodorizing and I hung back up at the house. Well the deodorizer wore off and now I have a stinky antelope again. You can smell it from 15 feet away.
The only thing I can think off is that he didn't properly flesh the oil glands in the cheeks. He says he did when I questioned it. So the question is, what do you think the reason is that this goat smells like it did when I first wrapped my hands around his horns last fall?
