I live in Opelika if you guys know anyone that would do it. I don't want a mount, just the skull cleaned to keep on a shelf for a conservation piece. I don't think I'll have time for the ant hill trick or the boiling, etc. Author, Fly Fishing for Redeye Bass: An Adventure Across Southern Waters JacksonKayak Fishing Team --------------------------------------------------- "I do not hunt turkeys because I want to, I hunt them because I have to." - Tom Kelly

If I'm fortunate enough to kill a bird next year (God willing), I may try it. I figure I'd just do it same as a deer skull - skin it out and remove as much flesh as possible, then set it on a fire ant hill and cover it with a bucket to keep critters out of it. after a couple months, should be relatively clean. Rinse, hit it with some peroxide to whiten it, done. There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world: 1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft

Beetles would be 1000 times easier and better. "I'm not near as critical about how big they are as I once was. Smiles are more important now! We will grow more deer." Jimmy G.
