So you shot that monster trophy and don't have the cash to pay a taxidermist. All you need is a big pot, some baking soda, and a fire!
Just cut the hide off your trophy, cutting close to the skull around the ears nose and lips. Put it in a pot of boiling water with the baking soda. Half a box will easily do a deer skull, so I imagine this is enough for anything that fits in the pot.
After a couple hours carefully lift it out. If the lower jaw falls off it's done. If it doesn't wait another hour or so till it does.
Once the jaw falls off, take it out and let it cool enough to be handled. Don't throw out the water. You mat have to fish through it for teeth or muzzle plates, and such that fell off.
The meat, eyes and such that are left can easly be removed with a toothbrush. Poke a srewdriver into the brain cavity and swish it around till all the brain is removed .Running some water in the cavity after each swishing helps. Then do the same thing to the nasal cavity, but more gently.
If any muzzle plates, teeth or bones in the nasal area fell off ,strain the soup and fish them out. Figure out where they go and glue them back on with superglue.
