There are 2 simpler ways and the only con is that it takes more time. #1 - Bury the skull and place a bucket over the antlers so no pesky critters can get to them. #2 - If you have access to a pond, tie a rope around the antlers and toss the skull in. They'll be clean of any flesh/meat after a period of a couple months (obviously it'll be faster in summer months and slower in winter months). I've done both methods above as well as boil the skull. They all end in the same result.
find a old cooler fill with water and put about 1 cup of bleach place skull in it and forget about it.3 weeks remove and knock off excess flesh and repeat.should be done by end off 6 weeks.
Now I'm guessing it depends on what's living in your pond. Turtles etc. cause a guy at my work says his heads will be picked clean in a few weeks in his pond. we tried it and came back 6 weeks later and what we pulled out of that water was beyond morbid. I gagged not gonna lie
6 weeks I would think would be mighty fast. I left mine in there from October until early summer, just kind of forgot about it haha. But it could very well have to do with what lives in the pond. I'm further south then most here so I would assume we would have more bacteria/species in warmer waters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
makes sense! guess I'll wait a little longer. I just envisioned these little piranhas ripping it apart. wasn't the case
Hahaha the Amazon could help you there. I'm sure in the early spring and summer it would be more like that but in the winter fish tend to move to deep water and slow their movement down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
