How about the hanging process? It sounds like most of you who do your own processing dont hang the deer for long.

Here in my area most people process their own meat and commercial processors are few and far between. I hunt within walking or ATV distance of my house and don't even bother to field dress.

European Skull Mount Instructions
What you are looking to do is usually called a European mount where the skull is bleached and the antlers are natural. It looks like some sun/weather bleaching already occurred on the antlers so not sure how the finished product would look. I have done two in the past. I know you already have a bare...
