I like to believe that animal rights activists just want to decrease suffering for animals. Their primary target is the mass exploitation of animals (like in the food industry). Although this video is graphic, the animals are already dead and were probably not confined to cages their entire lives. Would this still be considered morally wrong? By many, yes. But it is nothing compared to the amount of animals we farm and use on a daily basis. Lots of people don't even consider the suffering of animals whose products they consume. I think most vegans would rather have you go out and kill with your own two hands than buy something off the shelves.
@@schplorgus8140 But the problem is the more we believe animal suffering is fundamentally wrong the more vulnerable as a society we become to it. Some people even started considering killing an animal as equal or even worse than killing a man. What will come next? People are currently raging over hunting videos, soon you will not be allowed to milk a cow. My advice is to embrace animal suffering as a normal part of our world, but try to lower its amount.

Hello!! I just wanted to give you some encouragement and a thank you! My daughter watched this video over a year ago. She wanted to do her first Euro mount herself at 14years old. Its up in her room. It turned out perfect!! She's starting her 2nd and third mounts today and we still come back to review this video before we start. Thank you and happy hunting!
same people that complain about this in comments, are the same people who go to the grocery store to buy meat but call the cops when you feed yourself. they put it in the boil alright. that good ol IQ of theirs you make great videos man. great narration and you never say anything stupid. I appreciate your content
States "this is extremely graphic" only after laying 10 animal skulls on a table. Lol Worth noting, love this video. Learned what I came to learn. Just thought it was funny.
I'm 5 years late but thank you!!! I'm 15 and have been interested in cleaning skulls for years (don't worry i can take it) and i finally have the opportunity to actually do it !!
The Wooded Beardsman cool to see you here haha. I found your awesome video’s trough your brother and got here because I found a skull on the beach that I will clean. Combined interests. Not even surprised! All the best from the Netherlands.
Great video!!! I love using skulls in my artwork and magic but never brave enough to do it myself. This is a very respectful video towards the animals and I didnt realize how much work went into this wow
dude, I watched every second of it and thought you did a GREAT JOB!!!! no joke! I'd love to have you on my channel and do a video together. I've always wanted to learn how to do a really good euro mount! thanks for the compliments as well! we seem a lot alike, normal dudes, doing normal things...
The nodules you break out with the tong at 6:40 are each called "Bulla Ossa" (or just the two "bullae" in plural), that is the hearing capsules, where the inner ear is located (cochlea to hear and labyrinth for balance); in some animals, these bullae are diagnostic.
I just got a deer head. Never tried this before but after watching your deer skull video and this video, I'm amazed how well it works. My stepdad is blown away at how well they look. Thanks so much and forever subscribed
Watching you pull everything out of the nasal canal was super satisfying! This video was super informative, I hope I can clean out my bones as well as you one day!
Hey man, I see you throw away the jaw meat. It's a real delicatesse here in Europe. Make a stew of it, it will be the most tender meat you have ever eaten. Greetings!
My brother and I struggled so much with removing the eyes. We were taught to remove them after the boil but after watching your videos, removing before is definately the way to go. Thankyou so much!
Great video, I'm a taxidermist from Canada, and I just learned I few things from watching you, that I'm going to try in bleaching skulls. Thanks, Denis
I am used to mount trophies like this, but have left them with a pro for years. But after watching your very informative videos, I will try it out myself. Thanks for the video.
It depends on how strong the peroxide mixture and the size / age of the skull. As a rule I use 10 min of boil for a really strong to straight peroxide mix. At low percentage peroxide or 50 percent water or more 15 to 30 min. Hope this helps.
Thanks mate, I shot my first bear over the weekend and didn’t have the time or money to get the pelt done up. This seems like an awesome way to preserve some memories, it’s always nice to have knowledgeable people like you around!
I want to thank you very much. I have been doing taxidermy since 1985 as a hobbyist. I have boiled numerous skulls more than I can count, your methods will simplify what takes me hours. I do have a suggestion that I have found that will remove the meat off of the skulls as well as the fat. I do not know if you have tried this or not, is to use in the first boil baking soda. I have found that it changes the PH and softens the meat to become gel like. Your process of power washing which I would have never thought of doing has shown me a way to speed up the process. Your video was very informative and even as a seasoned taxidermist you have opened new doors of giving a better quality product to my customers. This is very helpful as I am full time with my shop now. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words. I am glad it helped. I'm going to try the baking soda. Thanks you again one Olsen to the next Olson. Ryan Olsen Whitebone creations.
Thank you for your video. Knowledgeable and professional. I had a buddy help me to my first buck and he kind of messed it up. Due to the knowledge I learned here I was able to repair it and start over. This year's and last year's buck look awesome!
I've had crows take a good size deer skull and drop it quite a ways away breaking the antlers. Also it took a very long time relatively. At least 3 months to get most of the meat off and then it still needed a good cleaning. . .
My daughter is putting together a goat skeleton for her honours class in college. We used your method and the bones came out great, white and clean. Thanks for the great videos!
can't wait to try this on my grandma. She just got buried week ago and tomorrow I'll dig her up EDIT: Damn! I was arrested by the police at the cemetery
Lmao, on every medical university there are people who do this and many, many more things with human body, because students need to learn in detail how human looks inside.
Great job I just wish that I would have watched this video several years ago when I did my first European mount I boiled that thing for probably 3 days it didn't turn out near as nice as the one that you did here in this video but if I do another one I'm coming back to watch this and do it like you did a great job keep up the good work thanks a bunch
I've been doing European skull mounts on my own whitetail deer kills for years now, much cheaper than paying $300 plus for a taxidermist for a full head mount. I saved this video and subscribed. Thanks so much for sharing!
We used to cut the majority of the meat away, boil it for a while to get even more off and then leave it in an ant hill for a day or two. Worked like a charm.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's so cool. I don't understand why some people call it gross. I'd only call it gross if there were maggots. Just imagining the smell. Nasty but it would still be cool to watch
I just wanted to say thank you. I used this method on a javelina and had great results. I was nervous never done this before but your video gave confidants to go for it and now something to be proud of .
Great educational videos, and all of your videos are well done. I’m a taxidermist and I rebuild broken tine and color antlers. I prefer water based antler paint instead of mini wax wood stain to touch up antlers. It has a matte finish vs a gloss or shine you get with a wood stain. One once of char brown or raw umber color would work for your needs. Apply the same way as you do with the wood stain. A few drops diluted with water goes a long way. Apply multiple coats to achieve desired color or dilute more with water to lighted. You can purchase from McKenzie taxidermy supply.
This is an amazing video, currently I clean smaller skulls so this method isn't practical but when I start cleaning and preserving larger animals I'll definitely refer back to this video. You explained everything perfectly and got awesome angles. Great work!
I've done that with a couple of smaller animals and had to use a wire brush to get the cartilage removed, but I like the pressure washer idea instead, and the mop n glow to seal them is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing.
Very informative. I have a coyote skull and the bones from several deer kills that we have recently found and was wanting to figure out how to clean them up. Fortunately, there are only some remnants of any hide left on the deer bones. We just got back yesterday, so I need to inspect them, after doing some RU-vid research. Thanks. Your work is excellent.
blowyabrainsoutcauseofsatan MusicToMyEars666 😂😂 umm yea.. what u think anatomy is? 😂 u can have my skull once i die bruh, no problem, just as long as its used in the right way afterwards like it was done in this video, dont go around humping my eye socket or something 😂
Much easier it u have access to a creek or small stream..I leave thim in the stream for 1 week with a rock on top and crayfish and everything pick it clean ...
I for one enjoy your work. No negativity from me. I respect and honor creation as you do by doing preservations of creatures. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. And yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Excuse me, I have to go watch your video.
That was an adrenaline rush to my stomach. I felt a bit sick, but at the same time edified. It was grotesque and beautiful. Thanks for showing. I plan on using your tricks sooner or later.
I’ve got in doing sculls I’ve watched a lot of videos an see one of your video on doing deer you make it so simple you talk me a lot! I enjoy watching all your videos of different animals I live in Virginia
Where the heck would I, an introverted weak potato, find a decapitated head AND need to know the knowledge to clean it??? This isn't even the weirdest reccomend vid
Wow wish I found this a month ago when I did my first euro mount. I followed some other RU-vidrs instructions and it looks nothing like those! Best one I've seen and will definitely use this technique next time!
He says in other videos that he would never eat anything coming out of that pot. He uses it for everything! Even half rotten animals. So I wouldn't wanna eat out of it either aha
Most likely, we ended up with a similar situation during the colonization of Algeria by France. Apparently, several French soldiers took with them the heads of the beheaded natives. The heads are still in several French museums, despite petitions wishing to give a dignified burial from Algerian historians, or even to return the remains to the descendants if they exist. What I understand given the very recent origin of these skulls (XIX-XXth century), which do not teach us much unlike older bones.
@@huriale1617 "Hey we did this bad thing a long time ago. But we are more civilized now." "Cool, so can we have those body parts back you guys stole since they were human beings and deserve some dignity?" "Nope." We're just cavemen with cell phones and thermonuclear weapons.
I slow cook fleshed heads in water and baking soda. The basic solution causes cartilage to become more and more gelatinous. It CAN cause bone ligaments to loosen to the point of falling apart so you gotta check in on it. Peroxide and water and heat for whitening.
I did a deer head folling your directions except I soaked this one in peroxide for three days instead of boiling it for fear I would bleach the antler to much. But either way, it came out great. Used the Mop n Glow to seal everything and super glued the teeth in and put it on a plaque and it was ready for the customer. Thanks for sharing all the good advice. Been doing deer processing for some time now so I thought this would be a good after season income. We'll see how it goes. Hog head next! Lol
Hey brother, your videos are freaking useful! Watching how you've done things has helped me with my own animals. Now I've been able to help a good friend preserve his CA Pronghorn. I love this kind of work. Hat's off to u.
I'm going out hunting with my grandpa and dad soon over in lieon, white tails, and I'm hoping we can score one and clean the skull, and you're videos really help with educating me on that, thanks man
I’m going to be coating my first deer skull with mop n glo..I need a little stain for the antlers..and it’s done! Thanks for your knowledge ..I’m happy with the result ,my next one should turn out even better!!
Thanks for the video, and sharing what you've learned, and explaining what works, and what can possibly give you a hard time, plus how to take steps to ensure that it will stand up over the years, very good video.
I’ve never done a skull cleaning before but I plan on doing a squirrel skull for my first. I’ve been dispatching a lot of pest squirrels and I think it’d be neat to have a little squirrel skull to remember my time on the west coast
Omg discusting shame evil.. JOKES I'm into hunting and fishing, I have a beaver scull I found and would like to clean it well! Thanks for the awesome video!
WHITEBONE CREATIONS HUNTING I’ve got 2 big beaver skulls and a raccoon skull. My concern being a first timer is the teeth. My boss told me I had to glue the teeth back, this is after they’re are pulled though? And this is about flesh locked in under the tooth. After seeing you mention the tusks it seemed to relate to the beaver teeth. Thanks in advance. Your video was great.
