    I figure it should only take 2 weeks of maggoty action to clean out a skull that's been trimmed as much as possible so it shouldn't smell too much by that point. I'm probably wrong but it's only a goat skull and a few $$$ saved on my power bill would be great. If it still looks to be a mess when I go out to get it then I'll leave it for another 2 weeks. It's worked well for me with coyote skulls so I figured why not give it a try eh?

    So you are just keeping the skull ,not getting it mounted?

    Was the meat any good or tough as old boots?

    will its what a taxidermist told me to do, he did warm it would smell rather bad.
    Yip cant afford to get it fully mounted at this point. The meat was rough mate.... Had a very strong sheepy taste as you could imagine, edible tho

    I doubt he's doing it as a career then........................
    Better to cook fresh meat than rotten.......................(The only difference)

    Yeah i think the whole idea was that it would be easier to dump the skull in the pot with no horns on rather than trying to boil it will horns on while avoiding water marks on them. I dont have a pot that is suitable for doing it with the horns on, buggered if i could get it to fit in anything, i could imagine a tahr or chamois would be much much much easier to do

    Awsome matey! pleased it worked out well for you in the end and you took the advise from a taxidermist

    Just out of interest what method did you use? rot slide cook clean peroxide etc or just boil it and hope that the horns slide off.

    i used the rotting method, horns slide off easy. That made it fit in the pot to boil easy and i didnt have to worry about changing the colour of the horns. I thn peroxided it and left it in the sun for the day.

    I may have boiled it for a bit long as the nose bones fell off. i am probably going to glue then back on
