He's still a dweeb of course but his work speaks for itself. Oh, and he doesn't know the first thing about good music.

I like this guys methods. Do not over cook. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOLU3IlsnN8 Last edited by ebsurveyor; 03/08/21 08:49 PM.

Have some friends and family that I do for too, mostly deer skulls. They turn out great, just take your time, don’t boil too hard, if you take that route. The skull will loosen up. I occasionally have to glue the nose pieces back on, but you can’t even tell. Put your skulls in the freezer, and practice on some others until you get the hang of it. Then do your good ones. John

Done deer, lynx, bobcat,yote ,porky, badger etc. Get a electric pressure washer and a electric burner and go to town. Only trouble I’ve had is loosing very small teeth. I’ve remedied that with an outdoor carpet wash down pad. And learned to control my pressure washer better. PS I’m. Looking for a wolf skull. Pm me if interested. I'm itchin' to see a coyote twitchin'. More trappin' and less yappin'. Member FTA & USSA.

Wire to a tree (so they don't get carried off), lightly cover with some dirt/leaves/grass, come back 2-3 months later and all clean. I originally sent them off, then bought my own beetles, now let nature do it. All the same results and quality. Meat cannot be rotten.
