RE: question on skull mounts
Where are you from? There is a guy by me who does European mounts (what you are describing) for $30 and he gets them back to you in less than a week. He does not use the beetles though so the teeth could fall out. Of course a little epoxy fixes that real easily. You can do it yourself by boiling the living daylights out of the thing and scraping off all of the tissue. Using a hanger or something of the like to dig the brain out and other hard to reach places. It is time consuming though I will warn you.
