    quickest way to clean a deer skull cap.

    Hey guy, I just got my first buck last weekend, a nice little mulie spiker, and I would like to clean the skull cap. I have tryed googling it but there seems to be lots of different ways. I just want a quick and easy way. All that's left of it right now is a bit of flesh, the antlers and the bone in between. I have removed the rest of the skull and the hide amd as much flesh i could get with a knife. I have not boiled it and it's not rotting. It is in the freezer right now.
    Thanks for the help guys

    Give it a quick boil in water and 100 mule team borax. Then take it to your local car wash and give it a quick spray.

    If it's just the skull plate then you might get by with just the pressure wash.

    Do I need to seal the bone or antlers?

    Don't boil the antlers, just the skull. Avoid spraying the antlers too as they can lose their colour. Don't overboil; you can always put it back in to soften things up. I've never seen any sealed.
    Yup, that coiler is a personal best...
