Done trapping till spring beaver gets going so far 31 mink a few coyote beaver marten coon ect have around 200 more to do

Nice job.

Are you macerating the skulls, using dermestid beetles or doing something else to clean them?

^X2
and peroxide 40V paste on the skulls or soaked in a solution?

slow cooker

… bet it makes its own gravy lol

It's what's for dinner! MMMMM

I messaged you , I need muskrat skulls

it takes i little longer 6 to 8 hrs from frozen falls right of the bone . just did 5 otter in the cooker around 10am took like 45 mins to get them cleaned off there are drying now and whiten tomarrow

Nice collection!

When you sell skulls, are all the teeth there? And are the nasal turbinates intact?

just a start i have a pretty good market thank you

Can you elaborate on instructions? My fox is done at the taxidermist and they saved me the skull. What should I do to keep it?!

slow cooker on high place skull in cover with water add a little dawn and borax 6 to 8 hrs later take out clean off meat lower jaws will come apart i us a small steel bush around the teeth fise in water lot the jaws dry clean out nose and the brains i use a small crochet hook to clean nose and brains out let dry but you dont have heat peroxide would say no more than 30mins if you wait to long will muss when you take it out rise let dry glue jaws back togather after that either glue jaw to skull or not than seal with mop and glow .i had to learn to hard way nobody tells i watch a few youtude guys there dont tell everthing .MAKE SURE YOU DONT DO THIS IN THE HOUSE STINKS hope this helps

You dunk it in the slow cooker with a peroxide solution for 1/2 hour? What mix ratio?
A big cheap cooker from a garage sale is perfect. I’m close but can’t get them really white. I brush on 40v paste.

looks great ,thanks for posting

Like on a beaver, where the lower jaws come apart at the end, do you use any type of spacer to get natural alignment before gluing back together, or do you just glue?

Quite a lot of work. You did a great job, I meant to say earlier. Excellent skill and patience

Going to have to try it that way. I usually spend time taking as much meat off as I can plus the brains. I use an old heavy pressure cooker and turkey fryer burner as my heat source. Bring to a boil than let simmer for a while. Deer skulls take around as hour. Smaller skull not much difference. I have tried masceration on beaver skulls. That works really good but stinks really bad. Plus the skulls fall apart. Going to have to perfect the timing on that.

Here is my set up just finished otter skulls waiting for them to dry I only use these few tools a slow cooker small plastic tub for the meat and a bucket of hot water to rise my skulls in than after the slow cooker than in to the hot peroxide maybe 30 minutes

They do look nice

Looks great! Doing that many skulls, why not use the beetles?

What sort of brain cavity cleaning method do you use? I know it is not a simple process to clean from the C1 to the sniffer in any skull, let alone a tiny muskrat or mink skull. Very curious how you deal with the task.
