Title: EURO options near Puyallup
Post by: Duckslayer89 on February 18, 2019, 03:59:17 PM: I have a mule deer I would like the skull cleaned up and beatled and bleached. Any suggestions for who does a good job at reasonable price?

Did an elk for me this year that turned out great! Seems to have pretty decent prices also.

Im waiting to recolonize my dermestid beetles when It starts to warm up a tad bit, Theyre not very active when Its cold.
Ive got the bleach on hand and some bones in the freezer I need to clean. Just an option. Im out in yelm/eatonville so fairly local to.

No worties. As long as your patient and wait for a bit warmer weather. I can get my colony back up to 10k+ in a few weeks. Should only take then two days to make easy work of a mule deer. Not sure who else on here brought me stuff.
Think MLBowhunter had me do one of his mule deer. Thing was giant had to find a trashed chest freezer for it to fit into.

Yeah you can always macerate. It can severely weakens the bones and make alot of the cartilage break down or become non existant.
I.E. The best part IMO Is the scensory vanes in the nose. Super intricate. Almost HAVE to have beatles to be able to get it.

But then you have the problems with beetles who love to eat the outer sockets to the eyes, Most people don't notice but It can be avoided.
Disclaimer, This is only IMO.
Im by no means an expert, Just sharing my experience and offering help.
I made this photo to kind of give you an idea.
