2 Full Curls Report post Posted November 9, 2010 I have another taxidermy question... A friend of mine just butchered a steer on his family ranch. He wants to save and clean the skull, however he doesn't know the best way to do it. He's not sure if he should try to boil it, and if so.. will boiling it ruin the teeth? The skull is large and would be difficult to boil. He also has heard that you can use beetles to clean a skull.? If you have any suggestions or recommendations they would much appreciated. Thanks guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted November 10, 2010 Have him call Cole at CMC Skullworks (a sponsor of CouesWhitetail.com). They specialize in cleaning skulls and can recommend the best way or they can do the skull for him. Cole has beetles and would make that skull look awesome! http://www.cmcskullworks.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLH Report post Posted November 13, 2010 Stick it in the ground for about 2 weeks--preferably close to an ant hill--pull it out of the ground and dust it off. If there are any spots that have anything left on it i would be surprised. Just make sure you have it in a place the yotes and critters won't run off with it.
