That's plenty deep. In my TN climate, the bugs had done their job most likely within a month or so. I still prefer the boiling method and will continue to use it. Most people boil too hot or too long. Get the water boiling and reduce to simmer. Keep removing the skull and scrap off what you can. Add some Arm and Hammer Super Washing powder to the water. It will help remove grease. A stiff nylon brush will aid in removing tissue. Dry completely and then brush with Hydrogen Peroxide 30%. Wear protective gloves and goggles at all times!!! Clorox will ruin the bone, only use HP 30% to bleach. Seal with a clear anti-fungal sealer available through WASCO supply or your Taxidermist. grayghost
