I've got an ex-wife that collects skulls - this is the basic process:
1. Detach head, skin, cut out tongue, jaw use knife and locking pliers.
2. Using outdoor stove, simmer head in large pot of water with a little dishwashing liquid for 30 minutes.
Keep antlers out of pot.
Cover antlers with aluminum foil to steam.
3. Remove skull and pieces that have fallen off.
Glue pieces in place later.
4. Pick the skull clean. Use needle nose pliers.
5. Immerse the clean skull in a solution of 1 part (3% peroxide) and 2 parts water. Soak for up to 24 hours. Don’t touch the antlers.
Feel free to modify
