Title: Finished my boys' deer skulls
Post by: Gunfire on September 16, 2012, 11:57:35 AM
Last season my boys drew youth antlerless deer tags in Chiwawa and 2nd deer tags for Benge. 

I made a huge mistake while boiling the skulls from their Chiwawa deer in the evening.  I fell asleep an the couch and when I woke up several hours later, there wasn't much left.  Most of the plates had separated so I was left with just a huge mess.  Lesson learned. 

The deer they took in Benge (one turned out to be a small buck) I boiled several times in short sessions and picked meat off in between.  After a day soaking in professional strength peroxide creme they turned out great.  Bright white and perfectly clean.

BTW, we buried some a couple years ago with terrible results too.  Black and brown stains on them that will not come off.
