Big sky beetle works http://www.treasurestate.com/beetleworks/ Here in Montana does a good job with a quick turn around. Prices are on the web site

You need to find someone that has those beetles that eat flesh. My buddy sent a bear head to the guy in ROckland, County NY and it took about 1 month. Awesome stuff .

if you have a private area that you put your animal carcasses put that next to them right after the snow melts and leave it there for about 18 months and leave it there for the winter.
