Has anyone ever cleaned a sheep skull? I’m getting a few for free and I’m curious how it will look. Are they a fairly delicate or sturdy skull? The pigs were nice and thick with minimal cracking.

If you could get an old deep freeze, like the big farm style, that might be able to contain the big animals. Drill a few holes or prop the door open a 1/2 inch just so flies can get in and maggots will show up.

Hang with us Ian. Sure we fuss and fight and squabble, but for the most part, we're just a bunch of cantankerous old farts, set in our ways, but with lot's of lore to impart on a younger generation.

I note there is no mention of you rereading fitch270's post (#54) that he simply put a turkey skull in a "peanut butter jar".
He DID NOT "soak" a skull in peanut butter.
"Soaking" a skull in peanut butter?
That's your dunderhead blunder, MoeHonk!
You're such a "libtard"!

Can you imagine what that much peanut butter would cost!? A hundred bucks or so.

You gotta watch "Mr. Know-It-All"!

That’s the beauty of the maggot method. Put it in a barrel and forget about it for a few weeks. Then voila! Clean skulls. I do like the idea of simmering after maggots have done their part though.
