I picked up a Fallow mount and it has a strong smell to it that I can’t get rid of, it’s alittle bit better today but it made the whole house smell ( kind of like chemicals) I tried fabreeze and chemical guys signiture scent ( aka stripper scent) niether of them helped. Anyone have any advice? ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/11/full-57971-262729-e256de49_a63d_4eb7_bccf_9617bb420bdd.jpeg)

Just live with it. It’s gonna pass
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Yup. A lot of exotic mounts have some odor. Had a sika done a few years back. Took it home, next day took it back to the taxidermist. It was horrid. Hung in his shop for about a month before the smell dissipated. Taxi can have the hide tanned and that will take a lot of the smell out, but sounds like that advice is too late for you.

Candle 'til it dissipates? But, I gotta know, what's a "stripper scent"? ![grin grin](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif)

You can put some charcoal in a couple of socks and hang them on the mount. It will absorb the smell.

Leave it outside in a screened enclosure (to keep dermestid beetles off it) or try soy candles (which work well enough to remove4 cigar smoke from a room).

Could try hanging it in your garage for a month or so to see if it goes away.

if it's really "chemical" smell (good thing as its likely tanning chemicals) it will go away as others have said in a few weeks. If it smells like an animal (that's bad) then that is a whole different deal and likely not a tanned hide but dry preserved.

I highly recommend their products for car cleaning and smells. Thanks everyone for the help I’ll give it a try!
