I have heard of people burying skulls to de flesh them w/ good results , I was assuming It was the worms doing the defleshing. If not what is eating the meat while it is in the ground? If its just normal decomp, why bury it in the 1st place?
What about ants?
If you live in an area with ant hills, that is an option that has been used with success as well but I'd be too concerned about rodents getting at the exposed antlers.
The light boil followed by a high pressure wash method I've outlined in this forumis the fastest and cheapestmethod to clean the skull and the easiest method aside from the beetles. A couple hours from start to finish.
