They have a FB page if you want pictures. Never had anything done by Joel at BRT but have met him and talked with him a few times. He's a stand up dude fighting for WA state hunters. I'd take anything to him in a heartbeat if I lived closer.

I paid 350 a couple years ago for a bull elk.

Exactly, I started doing it myself the last couple years for my kids and I and I just enjoy doing it, they turn out really good.

I do most of my skulls myself, but the really good trophies I send out to be done by bugs. Boiling just seems to destroy all the cool nose cartilage, which is especially cool in the predator skulls.

If it's who I used a couple years ago, he has switched to maceration.
