Bleach eats bone! Sorry Nutzzy, maybe you meant whiten with peroxide when you said 'bleach'.Quote:

Pressure washer first then use propane torch to cook any tough stuff and then pressure again
Benjhinds method is well described.
I've done it like that with moose skull and antlers.
You need a really big stock pot to do a moose.
Cabelas sells a skull bleaching kit that I have used and worked really well on moose and deer
When whitening large skulls, high-strength peroxide can be mixed with magnesium carbonate to form a paste for whitening.
I clean them up while they're real fresh , clean the brains, eyeballs, the flesh off the roof of the mouth and such, then hang it right on the side of the woodstove in the shed a few days to a week (it's usually pretty dry by then) give it a final rub to get rid of the rest of the sinew and dry flesh that remains. then you're good to go.
