Elk Skull

If the guy wanted beetles, sprinkle a few dead ones into the sinus conches after it has simmered, LOL!  The end result will be the same here...beetles do not degrease a skull...all they do is remove flesh.  All my skulls go into a hot soapy solution after beetle cleaning to degrease & deodorize.

Amen Joey.....what are they going to do next, have their customers dictate to them which brand of eyes & what type of hidepaste to use

If the customer knows so damn much, tell him to do it his damn self!

Thanks for the replies.  I went and got a nice size bin and screen.  So far so good.  Not many guys around my area that do the skulls and we don't get many of that size.  I will post a pic when completed.  Thanks again.

Definetly make sure and simmer for a few minutes before adding bugs.  My first animal in the bug box I didnt and I spent hours picking out the damn maggots.  What a pain in the butt!!
