I usually get it after the first soak. I'll have to give that a try on the next one!

Office is starting to look like a taxidermy shop. Makes me enjoy walking in. Finally got this year's bull on the wall.
Nice man! Looks like the sous vide method worked really well for you.
Mind sharing your process? I’ve got a couple antelope I’m struggling with, seems like some gunk kind of settled in the forehead bone and then the vertebrae attached the skull is still discolored.
Sure did like taking them out after a couple days and hosing them off and the gunk just all slipped off.

This is my process
-20 hours at 150 degrees, take out and pressure wash, change the water
-20 hours at 135 degrees, take out pressure wash and clean off any final pieces
- 20 hours at 125 degrees with 1 to 2 scoops of oxi-clean (2 for elk)
- 12 hours liquid paint on 40 volume (rinse off)
- 12 hours liquid paint on 40 volume ( wipe off with a wet rag)
I havent gotten the teeth part down yet, but I do all of my own skulls now.

Leaving for my Nebraska mule deer hunt on Friday, I'll be there for the weekend. Then headed back for 4th season mule deer/bull elk next week. My side by side has been sitting in my shop for 3 years, so I have to tear it apart and rebuild it before Colorado. Fun times and a busy 12 days ahead.

Nebraska mule deer bound. Goal is a 3+ year old deer, but I have an awfully itchy trigger finger these days.
