If anyone has any advice on how to make it easier ill be very happy

Dad hung a bunch of antlers out on tree branches to let the bugs get to the skin he let on their heads.  Too bad the squirrels ate some of the antlers.  What a dumas.     He had them out all summer and fall.  The antlers looked very aged now.  I was looking at some european mounts the other day.  Taxidermist had a skull in a fish tank with the beatles.  They almost had it gone.  She charges like $175 for that. 
 
 

You can do your own Skull Mt., have done several. Just boil it over a deep fryier for about 1 hr,,,change water after first hour. Scrape with wire brush and knife as you go,,,,,fill up with clean water,,,,,and one cup of lanudary detergint...with bleach................ boil,,,remove and scrape as you go till clean,,,will dry very white and clean,,,the secret is a good wire brush,,,,stainless steel!! js

If your interested I have a friend near Erie that has the beetles and does it for $60. I have gone the do it yourself route on bear and deer but you don't get as nice a job and the thin bone tends to disingerate over time when boiled.  

i gave my head to a guy that has beetles, its going to cost 50 bucks
