They did an excellent job on it......You may have to pass on the info to others in the North East if they desire to make one of their harvest a trophy or a one heck of a conversation piece...

i am going to have all of the skulls done as a way of displaying the coyotes, i already have one that is a full mount.  i like the furs maybe i will tan some of my own in the future, but for now i am going to see how many skulls i can get done.   

my taxidermist does them, for me he charges $75.00/   if you need one done just tell him i sent you.

Yea their pretty cool. But you can do them yourself for a few hours of your time. I've been doing all my deer skulls for the last 5 yrs or so. All you need to do is boil them (for a deer skull about 4 or 5 hours) or until all the meat just falls off the bone. For the brains just take a screwdriver or a stick and get in there and break them up, then just take a garden hose and flush them out. Then let them dry overnight and the next day boil them in a peroxide solution for about an hour to make them white. I don't know the exact mixture of peroxide but if you look on the internet under european mounts you'll find it there. The nice thing is you did it yourself and saved a couple of bucks to boot. hope this helps!

Scott,

The skull looks great!

I'm sure your taxidermist is very good quality but I just wanted to share this.....

For someone that doesn't have a taxidermist close by that they use, check out Dereks pricing.

Thanks, bootmud
