RE: Skull Mounts — How Do You Get The Brains Out?
here is a link you my like

I do my own skulls. just fininhed this years. all you do is boil and prod boil and prod. I have found that if you take a big nail 8 inch or better!!.and just stick it in the skull through back opening. the nial will transfer heat right into middle of brain , which will make it boil out faster. I also use an air hose to blow out the hard brain material that you cant get at with twisers or pliers.
hope this helps
Hunt for the sport, share the outdoors and most of all be safe and enjoy it......know your
back stop when shooting!!

We always cook ours in salsoda before gettning the brains out. The we just use a screw driver or a long skinny knife to get them out. My buddy takes them out in the same manner, but before he cooks them. I can't handle that, it turns my stomach just to watch. Something about raw brains that my stomack don't like.

Taxidermy student told me to skin out the skull and remove as much tissue as possible. Get a large pot that the head will fit intoany lay flat, fill with water to just below the base of the horns. Add 1 cup of Tide laundry detergent and boil (on low so the froth does not run up the horns)for 1/2 hour. Remove the brains with a coat hanger.
