All of the wild boar skulls sold on this website are cleaned in the manner described below. There are numerous ways to clean a hog skull. We are in no way experts; however, we are overrun with hogs and have a lot of boar skulls to clean. We use the fastest method to get the best results. Our wild boar skulls may have some discoloration on them with the process we use; however, they have been cleaned by boiling the skull and whitened with 35% food grade peroxide mixed with water. We have a wide choice of wild boar skulls to choose from that are ready for display or you can hunt your own.
How We Clean Wild Boar Skulls
1) Outdoor Propane Burner with large stainless steel pot.
2) 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (whitener/disinfectant).
3) Eye protection.
4) Gloves
5) Scalpel or hunting knife
6) 64 quart Sterilite Storage Container for peroxide and water.
Instructions:
1) Remove the skin and meat from the skull.
2) Place the skull in a pot of simmering water and cook for about 1 hour.
3) Turn off the burner and let the skull sit in the hot water for an additional hour.
4) While the skull is still hot to the touch, pull off as much of the remaining meat as you can. If it is difficult to remove, place the skull back in the hot water for an additional 30 minutes and try again.
5) Use a pressure washer with a narrow stream of water to remove any remaining meat on the skull. Make sure to wash out all tiny holes in the bottom jaw, the nasal cavity and top skull.
6) Place the skull into a mixture of one gallon 35% food grade peroxide to approximately 10 gallons water for 24 hours to whiten and disinfect the wild boar skull. We use a 60 quart 24x19x11 Plastic storage bin.
7) Remove the skull, rinse it off with water and let it dry thoroughly in the sun for several days. If the skull has an odor, place it back into the peroxide and water mix for another 4 to 6 hours.
8) Now your trophy boar skull is ready for display, painting or carving.
