Beetle guys around Spokane?

(1/3) > >>

GoldTip:
Anyone have the contact info for the guys who do beetle cleaned european mounts?  I have used a guy in Montana several times for bears and what not, but hate to drive back home if there is someone around here.   I've seen these guys with a booth at the Bighorn show, but never picked up one of their cards.  Any info someone may have would be appreciated.

Krusty:
GoldTip,

It's not Spokane, but I know of a guy in Tonasket.

If you'd like I can PM the info. I don't feel comfortable listing his name and number online, where any bot or spider could find his info.

GoldTip:
Thanks Krusty, appreciate the offer, but I know there are some guys around here, but not sure how to locate them.  Thanks again.

high country:
If you don't find any here, I am sure C'dA should have someone.

Have you thought of doing it yourself? Its not hard just takes some time, I did my own on a bix 3x3 a shot 2 years ago. All you need is a big pot with some hot water and I used Dawn dishsoap with degreaser, take and skin the head and pull as much muscle tissue off as you can. Once that is done, and the water is boiling sit the head in the pot and put it on a timer for 15 minutes and take the skull out every 15 minutes to scrape any loose stuff off, keep doing this until the skull is clean, when I did it it took about 6 hours and I did it with my old turkey fryer pot and my camp stove with teh little green propane bottles it took 2 and a half of them and the big thing to do is to do it outside!!!! Once it was clean I let is sit to dry out and then I took peroxide and soaked the skull in it for 15 minutes and then let it sit in the sun and you can repeat until the deisred whiteness of the skull is reached. Just don't boil the skull to long as it will crumble. I also did my Uncles for him why he was here. I will post some pics of what it looked like when it was finished.
