looking to find anyone that has some skull cleaning beetles as have a fresh grizzly skull that i would like clean up dont want to use the old boil in a bucket crap again
Beetles are quick, utterly thorough and clean. Ants are months slow in my experience. I'm also curious if anyone in Canada offers this service. JJ Hack (from this forum) offers skull cleaning with beetles and then he seals the surface for a beautiful finished product, but he is in the US.
I'm almost through with the beatle thing on a 10 point from last year . I didnt even clean the scull first . The head and neck part that I had frozen was about 15 pounds before I started and 20 days later it was nothing left but scull a little hide on the neck and some neck bone . I took a plastic garbage can with a lid --that had some holes in the bottom --took a plastic bag in the bottom with the head and filled it up to the horns where it would soften--shut the lid and waited--the flys got to it first -then after a week I took a stick and let most of the remaining water out . It as 20 days yesterday and I took it out and I am soaking in the pond for a couple days for the oder to get gone a little before I bleach the scull. It was so many beatles in there I couldnt count them all . Dont know what kind they were but hey did the job and they live in my yard
