    Skull cleaning...

    What is the best way y'all have found for cleaning bear skulls? I always have trouble getting all the brains out so lets hear it from some more experienced bear slayers Seems like appropriate timing to me.

    I have the same problem or the other one is I boil the skull till it falls apart
    Chuck Norris invented Kentucky Fried Chicken's famous secret recipe, with eleven herbs and spices. But nobody ever mentions the twelfth ingredient: Fear.

    Take a coat hanger or anything similar and put a J into it (like a fish hook). Use this to basically blend the brain. The hook can also be used to pull the bigger chunks out. I then use the tapand flush alot of the residu out. At the same time I remove all the other big meat chunks with a knife. I then boil for about 15 then take to a pressure washer. Stick the nozzle up the skull cavity and blast away. I would reccommmend wearing rain pants when doing this. The pressure washer is also used to get all the meat off. Works like a hot dam.

    The guys at the car wash usually love picking the brains out of the drains after you're done .

    Hopefully, you've got a pressure washer at home .

    Dopem to the bottom of the ocean.......off a warf in a marina tied to a rope for a while. That will clean the scull up spotless.

    I've heard ant hills do the trick as well, chain it up so that something bigger doesn't wander off with it.
