When I had small skulls like rodents or birds, I just set them in my mom's garden for ants to clean. No complaints on that method. Always wanted a dermestid beetle colony but never had enough bones in need of cleaning to justify it. This video is awesome though!!!!!

Great video!! Great way to honor an old boy. I live on a hunting ranch in West Texas and anytime my husband and I find something we want to keep that died out here, we just wire it to our fence posts around the house. Once it’s been picked clean and the West Texas sun has done its job, we boil it once in a similar fashion and pressure wash it. We typically have to do a bit of restoration on the horns but not much. We use mop and glo also! Great trick! They always come out pretty dang white and never a problem with smell or bugs. Great job!

[@WHITEBONE]

Yes, he's just patiently waiting through the process as he's decided to donate his skull.

[@anoutdoorsmansjourney]

Ryan, this is the first video of watched of yours. I’ve done numerous skulls over the years, ranging from dear elk and antelope. I learned more in 16 minutes, watching your video than I have the past two decades of other crap on the Internet. Appreciate your humble way of explaining what has worked for you and why you’re passionate about it

[@jvoss78]

You’re definitely a pro. One tip I use when cleaning skulls like antelope is I drill a small pin hole before I slip off the horn that way I can line the shell up on the bone exactly the way it came off. When it’s fit back in the exact position I put a small piece of wire back into the hole to hold the horn on the bone. Great job thanks for sharing.

[@Spooky_1136]

I’ve been watching you for a while and bc of you I finally was able to clean and bleach my own skull it was a opossum that died of natural causes in my back yard

A few months ago I helped my buddy install a new hot water heater. We needed to figure out how one of the fittings comes apart so we looked it up on KZbin. Although I didn't see the face of the guy I heard his voice and I am 200% convinced it was you.....also right as the video ended their was a fart noise. Was it you?

[@TXNpride]

Yea that's him! 😂

[@hollistern2]

There is no such thing as a hot water heater.

[@isaactrujillo76]

It’s just ‘water heater.’

[@Vinlyguyx420x]

⁠​⁠@@isaactrujillo76 no it’s not ​​⁠The proper acronym in plumbing literature is HWT (Hot Water Tank) google it Having HWT distinguishes it on purpose and is the proper way to describe it without causing confusion. Its a redundant name due to the fact you can have many tanks in your mech room like glycol storage tanks, soft water brine tanks, expansion tanks, pressure building tanks or supplemental hot water holding tanks to name a few. As well as multiple ways to heat your water. Is it an on demand system or boiler / condensing boiler system? “Water Heater” means nothing

[@bobbychaney8372]

​@@hollistern2well technically there is. They are also called boosters they are on commercial dishwashers. They heat the hot water coming from your water heater to an even higher temp( somewhere around 180-200)

I started getting into taxidermy a while ago, but usually never have to clean things off since I usually buy from cheap sellers but have good skulls and bones. But I’m really into birds and have started learning how to clean off wings to keep the feathers preserved and not worrying abt damaging tendons, and I finished cleaning one not too long ago and I’m able to fold the wing out and what not. This actually taught me some things about cleaning so ty, even if I don’t have all the stuff to do this, and I plan to go hunting for my first time soon so I hope I’ll be able to bring something home from it :)

Hey man! Sweet video, I'm a euro guy and custom base maker for a taxidermist in texas. I thought I was the only one who thought of using dawn as a soak. I honestly had only good experiences with just a dawn and water soak for a single day. I got a customer his Longhorn in a weekend it it came out well, no grease spots. I think yours ultimately looked better because you spent more time, but I loved watching your process. I'm lucky enough to get free skulls of animals people don't want during deer season so maybe I'll run your method on a couple and see how they turn out. Keep up the great work!

I have several skulls I crudely have done myself. Personally, after boiling I just set my skulls outside for months and let the sun and elements do the work. Yeah they don’t look snow-white like in the video, and my pig and black bear skulls have a lot of oil showing, but I could care less. They’re smooth, white-ish in color and the skulls look rustic and “desert wild.” To me they look like how one finds them after being exposed to the sun for several years when a wild animal does naturally. I like it.
