I take them to a friends, but he does the same thing. Boils and then bleaches. Its funny this year in Montana. None of the euro mounts came out pure white. We had such a wet year that there is still fat in the skull. Made them alittle white and gray. The bear skulls were the worse though. He even boiled mine twice and bleached it twice ! When we antelope hunted this year you know its a wet when the "dry" plains had mushrooms growing!!! Good eating though.
