Title: Beetles
Post by: dscubame on December 13, 2010, 02:25:26 PM: A local guy here in Spokane wants $50 to beetle a deer head. I got a his name from a landscaper I hired this last summer and sounds like he does this out of his garage. Is that the going rate for a beetler?

Thanks, Dan

Might as well spend $30 on a good fish tank heater and clean the skull yourself in a week to 10 days. If your going to end up with 3/4 of the work might as well do it all.

I charge $135 to Clean, Degrease, & Whiten Deer Skulls.
