How long does it take 300 beetles to clean a deer skull?

It would take to long for 300 beetles to clean a skull before the grease would dry into the skull and cause you more work in the degreasing process.  This is why you should get them about 2 months early so they have time to multiply.  300 beetles will be 3000 beetles in about a month.  I recommend about 6000 beetles before you give them something as big as a skull.  If I were just going to do my own skulls maybe one or two a year I would macerate then in a five gallon bucket.  If you need help with either process shoot me a email.
