you propably have still meat or brain tissue somewhere on the skull. peroxide doesnt remove the smell if there is meat somewhere. good way to clean whole skull after boilin it is compressed water. cleans skull easily and completely. only clean skulls doesnt smell...
sorry forgot to say this is a couple month old skull so it was rotten when the customer brought it to me all the meat is boiled off just bone stinks now.
Try soakin your skull in liquid spic and span for a couple of days. That should get your smell out.

This buck was shot and never found. When I walked up on him, the coyotes had made a mess. I usually only do the horns and hang them from my barn, but had seen some European Mounts that are sharp. I want to try this but honestly don't have a clue. Isn't there an acid that one can buy to eat the meat off the skull? I don't have alot of time, so if anyone can help, I would appreciate your time.
Thanks
John
