I know it says DIY on the topic thread, but for about a hundred bucks I paid Superior Skulls in Snoqualmie to have beetles clean mine. Came back clean and almost all white, with no boiling mess and stuff. Now I can whiten it myself and mount it the way i want. If anyone needs their number, shoot me a PM and I'll gladly give it to you.

Well yes Shawn that is an option if you have an extra hundred bones. I dont have that type of money so i learned how to do this. and actually like it. But then again i would rather deal with a smell that goes away later that day and put a hundred bones down on something else like??? Sportsman warehouse or cabelas maybe......
My skulls turned out just as nice as a beetle cleaned skull and i have the satisfaction of knowing i did it myself also. This was just an option for those people who dont mind getting there hands a little bit dirty. If you are a busy person and dont have the time or patents to deal with this then absolutely have a taxidermist do it for you or get it beetled......
I would still recommend to everyone out there that this is very easy to do and to attempt it. even if it isnt a huge rack try it. The little guys look good like this also.... if you have any questions please feel free to ask and i will answer as soon as possable.......
Also if you are thinking of attemping this and you have a smelly head to do it with and you want some help. get a hold of me and i would love to go over a few things on the phone with you if you are interested.....
