Sweet deal. I love Euro mounts. Im more than likely going to switch over to Euro mounts from here on until I get one that nets P&Y. Mounts are expensive, and Euros look sweet.
Im letting my buddy do mine for me. He has 2 beetle colonies, and a very high % peroxide solution....only takes 1-2 weeks (minutes of his time...most is waiting) and it is snow white. It is amazing how fast those beetles demolish any flesh or tissue matter left on the bone.
I would do exactly as you do if he didn't have these beetles.
My Taxi had a colony but ended up letting it go. He said the money he spent on meat to feed the beetles in the off season dug in to his proceeds of the mounts and made it not worth his time so now he refers euros to a buddy. He suggested I give the boiling a try and after a bit of research and trial and error, I found a fairly easy routine that give very good and natural looking results. Full mounts are indeeda bit spendy these days and I've reserved that treatment to the biggest of bigs!
