"WIRED" SKULL CLEANING A BULL ELK CAUGHT IN A FENCE

[@ericpennington6530]

I do skulls on the side in deer season here in PA and I've pretty much learned everything I know from you. Thank you for the knowledge.👍

[@ortonoutdoors9020]

I do them on the side here in Utah and I’m in the same situation as you. This guy knows his stuff!

[@theageingadventurers4283]

Pretty much the same for me here in Ontario. Ryan seems to be the best at this craft. Awesome that he shares his knowledge.

Thank you. So glad to help.

Holy cow, what a gorgeous bull! You really showed him respect by taking care of him and showing his beauty through death. Can't help but feel a bit sad for the bugger as that sounds like a painful way to go. Props to you man, you nailed it once again!

[@WHITEBONE]

Thank you so so much

[@stef1lee]

My husband brought me one to do with a pretty crazy break at the brow tine and he wanted to see what I could do as far as art wise. Well, I watched a boatload of your videos and sure enough it turned out beautiful. I'm definitely grateful that you take the time to break down and explain the process. But this piece you have for us today is definitely the best I've seen. Not much had to go into it to make it gorgeous.

[@WHITEBONE]

Thank you so much. Glad I could help.

[@MikeMcInroe]

Amazing mount and most definitely a rarity to see such a tangle of wire and to think of how the old bull must have suffered....you have memorialized him well Ryan! Love your work. Mike in sunny central Florida

[@mikes6884]

That's an awesome find. Looks like the poor guy struggled for a long time. Great mount!

[@WHITEBONE]

For sure. Sad to see him go like that.

[@davidsanders3028]

Cool, I did a neat skull not to long ago on a javelina for my dad where someone had shot it at some point with bird shot in the face. So I saved the pellets from where they were in beaded and glued them back in.

[@WHITEBONE]

Super cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@matthewmcdaniel8846]

Great video my friend I hope you continue to post here. I tried to get the app but I have a phone from work that’s a government plan so gotta have passwords etc

[@WHITEBONE]

Thank you.

[@K.Peterson]

I've thought about power washing my skulls but I'm always worried about breaking up the nasal cavity. I like to leave those there for a better look.

[@dubltap7216]

I killed a mule deer here in Montana 3 years ago that had wire wrapped around one antler a number of times and 2 long strands of it running down his side, almost touching the ground. I cut the 2 long strands off and had a European mount done and put a name tag of WIRED on it. No where near as much wire that on that elk. Very cool.

[@MrQuack811]

That might have been my favorite animal I've watched you do. And ive watched you do so many. I started a European Mount business in NY called Trophy Skulls, (find on Facebook) all because of you!! My first season which was this past season I did over 80 whitetail. I figured out a system that works wonders for me, along with all the stuff ive learned from you. My key to business is that I actually boil with the fur on for my first boil. I found out there is no need to even skin the deer head. After the first boil the fur pulls right off the skull and typically takes all the meat and tissue with it. Then i degrease for the next boil (simmer with clear dawn dish soap) Then I pressure wash and coat the skull in cream peroxide. Let sit for 24 hours and rinse. Thank you so much for your videos. You're an awesome guy for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Thanks again

[@gshufelt09]

Awesome video… honestly you could post deer heads every week and I would still watch. Seeing different angles, unique antlers making unique challenges or angles, all worth it to watch and learn each time.

[@LizzyWoelfchen]

Woah he is huge! Beautiful job on cleaning him, he looks marvelous! I'm just imagining him with fairy lights in the wires, hanging above a nice fireplace in a tavern or something 🥰

[@WHITEBONE]

Thank you.

[@bayoubilly6971]

That is one of the coolest mounts ever. Sucks for the bull to die like that. But one of a kind mount.

[@WHITEBONE]

Agreed

[@kirkphillips1243]

Enjoy your videos, Question, had a skull mount fall off the wall and break up. Antlers are still good and would like to remount them. Found a roadkill buck with antlers broken off. Want to use the new skull with the old horns. Any suggestions. Thanks

That’s quite the skull. Keep up the good work and God bless you.

I have a question does super star 50V work for skulls to because I can't get the stuff I get all the time ? If someone could Answer that'd be great thanks a have a great day

[@boggersforlife]

Very impressive!!! I like what you are doing to hang it. I have not seen that before. What are you using on the wall?

[@grayghost016]

Where can I find a big pot like that ? I have a big bull skull to do. I can’t find anything big enough.

[@randykopisch3578]

I downloaded your app a few days ago. Can't wait to see all the videos you post on that. Glad to know you're still posting on KZbin as well. It's an awesome video as always. Hope to see you soon, take care, your friend from Nebraska.

[@WHITEBONE]

Thank you so so much. Hope your well.

[@jessemontoya2542]

Love your videos! I'm new to this and still have a lot to learn. My question to you is, what can I do with skulls that have already been boiled and not fully washed and left to sit with flesh still on them? I've had a few customers bring them to me that way. I can get them to turn out decent but I not as good as I personally would like them to be. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@WHITEBONE]

Thank you so much. my advice for any unfinished skull is to just soak them in plain water until you can get around to cleaning them. The water will loosen up all the tissue slowly leech out grease and keep things from drying and staining the skull.

[@theageingadventurers4283]

So your're doing a 1/9 ratio with the colour now instead of the 50/50 mix? Awesome video as always man! That is one crazy mount! Love it! I'll be grabbing the app as soon as I upgrade this old dinosaur of a phone LOL!

[@WHITEBONE]

Thank you so so much. Yes I’m constantly in flux with the color batch. Because aqua silk is 27% peroxide it seems to get the job done at any percentage. I’m now just using 1 gallon of either brand and however much water it takes to top off the skull.

[@theageingadventurers4283]

@@WHITEBONE Thanks!

[@mel_2506]

That is crazy... I have seen them with twin from hay bale, but never wire. Would have been a tough death!

[@WHITEBONE]

For sure.

[@The_Mythical_Potato]

I dont know why but i like the crazy barbed wire look more than the regulary skull look

[@103m95g]

Looks nice, I think the lower jaw included would tell the story better

[@courtneyraesweeney286]

Do you have any videos on skulls that are old and have no meat I got one on auction and I have no idea how to clean make pretty

I'm curious, are you using a Hotsy or some other sort of heated water pressure washer?

[@richandlisawoods]

Question.... when you use Ms. Kay's peroxide, what is the ratio to water? Same as aqua silk? Thanks Thanks

I have now just settled on 1 gallon of either product with however much water it takes to cover the skull

I've taken on a project of taking a set of some horns from a ruined skull and putting them on another spike skull that I've cleaned and whitened. Do you have any advice for transferring the antlers from one to the other?

[@charlievanlandingham567]

Not by any means an expert but I would make sure the good antlers stay the same width and make sure my cuts at the pedestals were clean and straight. As far as connecting not sure if I would go with glue or try to drill and screw from inside the skull or some sort of double end screw

You have helped me a lot! I got a dead head (almost no meat) of a Mexican crocodile and I was able to clean it with your methods (I did not whiten it) I also used your methods on a dead head (with also almost no meat) of a water buffalo a zoo gift me (both animals were gifted ti me by a zoo) and I used a pressure water machine, the skulls are both now clean! Thanks a lot for teaching me and if I become a taxidermist I will follow your amazing methods!
