Have done a few........50+. Remove hide, eyes & as much muscle as possible. Boil for a couple hours (outside!) hit with pressure washer, may have to boil again then hit with Pressure washer again. Be very careful around the nose area, breaks very easily. During boiling I keep checking the nose, when that bone gets loose I pull it off then just super glue it back on after it dries & is finished, fits back perfect. Put in a shallow pan & peroxide, & or clorox just don't get any on the horns. A day in peroxide & or clorox when it dries will be a pretty bone white. Some paint white afterwards, I don't care for that, like the natural bone color better.

You can get the bugs, beetles etc. but if you're only doing one here & there it's not worth it.
