Help needed (hypothetically)
Say I had a coyote or even a bird head, and I am not saying I do, whats a good way to get the hair/feathers and meat off/out so that I would just be left with the skull?

Boil'em and pick...that's the way I used to do it! Bleach afterwards

After you boil it you could try a pressure washer..

Ive done it a few times. Boil and pick like PR said. The hardest part is getting the brain out. I use peroxide instead of bleach to get it white. It takes a lof of work but when you are done you get a nice scull/european mount.

Thanks guys, I simmered for a while a pulled and plucked, came out pretty good. Like the idea of the beetles, but I don't do enough of it to warrant those.

I boiled once back in the college dorms, roommate came back and thought I was hanging in the closet for a week! Not a pleasant aroma since I picked the raccoon skull out of a river. Just make sure plenty of fresh air.

A relative had access to UMass many years ago. He put my bear skull into the beetle tank and it came out great. |
