Just boil it for 30 minutes and the meat will scrape right off. I just did an entire skull for a euro mount that way.

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.

That does work! I didnt do the entire skull like that, but I cleaned out the brains with a regular hose
