Lots of folks clean skulls, some taxidermists do too. A lot of people boil and pressure wash them.
But I use beetles to clean skulls. It takes a little longer, but the results are really good. The skull is thoroughly cleaned by the beetles, every nook and cranny. Plus, delicate bone structures like inside the nasal cavity and forward of the eye sockets remain intact. There is a difference!
I also ‘boil’ the skull to remove the grease, and ‘bleach’ the skull if desired.
If you want me to do the complete process: thaw the head, skin it and prep it for the beetles, have the beetles clean it, boil it and bleach it, the total is $150.
It's best to keep your head frozen with the skin on until I get it and it goes into the beetles.
I’ll also clean your elk, coyote, bobcat, raccoon or whatever (to a point) skull. Prices vary; smaller skulls are usually less the a deer skull.
