muledeerarea33? Report post Posted February 14, 2014 The longer it boils the softer the bone gets! It will harden after a prolonged boil but will be brittle. Simmer it for 15-30 min then use a pick and brush to get the tissue and brain off. From experience I wouldn't go longer than 1.5 hours total. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunDevil Report post Posted February 14, 2014 the longer you boil it the softer everything gets and easier it is to get it to come off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted February 14, 2014 /> Just bury it on an ant hill.... this is a good option if the ant hill is controlled. My pops had his best coues taken by critters with this method. It was in the back yard and fenced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pine Donkey Report post Posted February 14, 2014 45 minutes at a simmer in water with lots of Borax, remove, spray, pick then repeat the process again. Be sure to go through a couple degreasing rounds as well as peroxide. If this was killed and just sat around ( rather than being frozen) it will take a longer time to boil, but you risk losing the snout bones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues Kid Report post Posted February 14, 2014 Its been in the frezzer, boiled it for about an hour or a little longer pulled it out cleaned it off.

Lucafu1 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 i let mine boil for 8-12 hours (simmer). im never worried about the snout bones or teeth. i just clean them and paint them before i throw them in the back yard somewhere. if it is something nice i would pay and use bugs, thats just me. ive seen them burried and they come out good as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
