You need to get a bag of Sal Soda from WASCO. (Wildlife art supply co, which happens to be in GA) Start by soaking skull in plain water for 24 hrs. Next you put the skull in very hot water with Sal Soda and it cleans off all the gunk, especially in brain cavity. Then get a bottle of peroxide 60 (strongest one) from your wife’s hair dresser and bleach the clean skull white. Make sure you wear gloves and safety glasses around bleach. You can then get some potassium permanganate and mix a small quantity with water. It makes a purple colored stain. You apply this to base of antlers and it turns them brown and makes them natural looking. Good luck!

Does the cocktail fork have any words on the spine?

If you lived in Penna, you would have to pay $70 to keep that skull. The Game Commission makes you pay $10 per point for a complete skull. It' doesn't make sense as you are allowed to keep sheds that are not attached to the skull, no $10 fee.

They put 40-60% peroxide on woman's heads, yet the strongest HP for water treatment is 35%.
One has to wear rubber gloves when handling the 35% as it burns white the skin really quick.
I've bought 40% gel from the hair dresser supply companies for cleaning up finds.

Pa! Looks like they get you coming and going in that place. $10 per point? I’d tell them my skull was found in OH. Make them prove it’s a PA deer. Whata ripoff!

Years ago it was illegal to even keep a single shed without paying $10 a point. I counted all the sheds I had found and would have had to pay the Game Commission $280. Nowadays you can legally keep all deer and elk sheds. free of charge.
