Don't use bleach it eats away at the bone real bad. Boil the head out in laundry detergent without bleach or get the good stuff from a taxidermist or order some of hte good stuff from a taxi catelog. Iboiled mine in laundry detergent and it worked great. Here is a couple pics of it. WCL

RE: euro mount
Keep boilin it in detergent and stuff and take it out every once in awhile and scrap stuff off. Toget the junk outta the nose I grab the head by the horns and give it long throw downwards between my legs and the junk will come flyin out on the ground. Just hang on so you don't let go and the skull goes flyin. Boil more and repeat till the skull is fully clean. Make sure you get everything off and all the brain out otherwise it will rot in the future. WCL

RE: euro mount
It should look like white bone just like the top. Teeth have alot of plaque on them that takes a sharp tool to scratch off but the whole thing should be all bone when you are done. It takes awhile beleive me. WCL

RE: euro mount
Boil the meat off. I also take mine up the the car wash and blow it out. Here are some pics of Euros I've done
My latest
A couple More from Wisconsin
A yote from last year
Some others from last year (the ones in from are done, the ones in back are either skinned or skinned and partially boiled
These ones are also just skinned, getting ready to go into the boiler
