Thats a dandy.

How did he get the skull so clean, so fast? Looks like its already been whitened

How to...cut off all the flesh you can with a knife, then submerge it in boiling water (only the skull; not the antlers!) with a little soap (some say) until the rest of the flesh can be picked off (tedious work; be careful in the nasal passages because it is delicate), then submerge it in peroxide (or bleach?) until it is white to your liking (again not the antlers!). It only takes a couple of days.

I do a lot of skull whitening (not bleaching). If you kill an animal anytime in the near future, please follow the steps above. I'd like to see the damage the boiling water and bleach will do to the skull. Thats if you kill an animal. Big IF.

Personally I have only used boiling water and then peroxide (I think I've heard others say they've used bleach and some say they put a little soap in the water; maybe I'm not remembering those two things correctly).

I have several skulls done exactly this way (and I killed the animals; what do you mean Big IF?). The boiling and the peroxide did no damage whatsoever...

i use powdered ph increaser like you would put in your hot tub when i boil. it makes the meat turn rubbery and either fall right off or fairly easy to pull off. after its clean i paint the skull with a paste mixture of powdered bleach and hydrogen peroxide while its still wet from boiling. chain it to something and let it dry in direct sunlight for a half a day and brush it off. the ph increaser makes a nasty chemical/meat steam you dont wanna breathe but it works awesome and none of the boiling or chemicals have ever damaged any of my skulls, just keep a close eye on it and dont boil it any longer than you need to or you might. anyways that is an awesome bull and a nice buck too! and good job on the euro mounts
