Nostrile damage found while doing european mount

Obviously start by skinning the head and cutting as much of the big meat off that you can. I used a saws-all to cut the lower jaw off. The saws-all came in handy for that!

I used my knife to cut the eyes out. Not as easy as you'd think! Once I did this I boiled the skull in water using my turkey fryer. Boiled it for maybe an hour to an hour and a half. I pulled it out occasionally to scrape, cut, pull with needle nose pliers and brush with wire brush the meat off the thing.

Dig the brain out of the thing during the boiling process. Use gloves when screwing with the brain matter. After you pull the bulk off the brain out there's a thin membrane surrounding the inside brain cavity wall, peel it off with the tip of your knife all the way around the inside of the cavity then use your needle nose pliers to pull the membrane out. There are small holes on the underside that lead to the brain cavity, removing this membrane will help you in removing the meat from these holes.

Continue to boil, scrape, cut and brush. Once you get all you can off, soak skull only in 50-50 peroxide and water for 4-6 hours. Pull and let dry.
