Got my skull back from taxidermist

The beetles do a great job! My first mule deer with a rifle.

And in honor of the deer head......backstrap salad.

They did a great job on that skull.

They did a great job on that skull.

And it was all done by a bunch of little bugs! No boiling. No chemicals. Nothing.

Same process used for human skeletons being prepared for market.

We did that in our biology classes back in high school.

looks great! Who’s the taxidermist?

A good friend has about 15 deer skulls mounted across the front side of his car garage. He gets a lot of looks!

I used to boil them outside on the propane stove. Gross and time consuming, especially trying to get the brains out. Ive done more than a dozen that way.
Boil, clean, then use some hairdresser peroxide paste to whiten.

Last one I did I used the fake plastic skull kit and just put the horns on it. It actually looks pretty darn good. If I had to do it again, that's what I'm doing.

One of my sons did a moose head with a high pressure washer. Made a friggin mess but it worked. Jack.

 

[Mass-diver]

It came out great!

 

[MP-In-The-Wind]

When I've done european mounts for deer heads, I just bury them in the garden for 3 months...then just a little washing and onto my wall!

Would that beetle process benefit us if it was applied to politicians

Up in Alaska they have beetle tanks big enough to put moose heads into. The politicians could be hung in head first and that should do it. Jack.

I can highly recommend blow flies

Head first would be to fast.

I don't know . . . Their heads are pretty swelled up, . . . . Not with brains, but lots of " Pork".
