Take a torch and burn the hair off, then let the skull plate dry a week or so and scrape the excess fat and meat off the plate. Its cheap and easy. Thats all I do.

I was told that fire ants will clean a skull in a hurry so I put my 7-point in a wire cage and set it on a ant bed. Well the ants are dormant for the winter. The skull is getting ripe! I'll be boiling it outside after work tonight.

Sal-Soda works good, that is what we have always used. Boil it in there for a while. Now is the best and easiest way that we have found. After you boil...jump in your truck right away...head to the nearest car was...drop in a couple of quarters and blast all fo the crap off!! You can save the trip if you have your own pressure washer of course. That seems to work really well.
