Looking for a place...

[Upland619]

To get a skull boiled and bleached in the Denver area. Not looking for anything fancy, but certainly willing to pay. Any recommendations?

First time post, but I've been a long time lurker and admirer. I appreciate the help!

I have a great guy in WA but you would have to ship it to him.

You want it boiled for sure? There is a guy out in Indian Hills that does beetles (and degreases/whitens it). What is the type of skull (species/gender)? I have his 2017 pricing sheet.

I see they are beetles and/or maceration which is good, both those are better results over boiling. Just an FYI for future references his prices look a little higher than the Indian Hills guy but there is that convenience factor for sure.

So what are you getting cleaned anyways?

Steves meat market in Arvada will do it do. Their guy uses beetles.

Thanks again for the suggestions guys! I'll keep these other services in mind for the next time. I talked to Marty over the phone to set up a drop-off time, he seems like a really nice guy who takes a lot of pride in his work, which is exactly what I was looking for. He's closest to home too, which is convenient. Originally, I didn't know that he uses beetles, but I'm looking forward to seeing the job they do and of course, the final product.

pods8 - I'm dropping off a unique 3x4 buck I killed during the 3rd rifle season here in CO (western slope). He's not a giant, but I shared a great hunt with my Dad and younger brother and for me, this is just another way to keep those memories alive for years. At work now, but if I remember to, I'll post a pic of him.
