Im gonna  post some links to pics of the heads ive boiled in the past..just finished one  this past weekend in which i goofed and tried boiling a fox head at the same time and it severely discolored(but i kinda like it)..i keep the skin and all right  on..drop it in a bucket i made that has a recessed botton to catch and hold heat..set it atop of my burn barrell and vigorously boil it for 2 to 6 hrs(the longer  the better)..then i just power wash it and its done..

Nice job !

[Pat Rockets]

Not that i need one..but a good excuse to drink beers..

[Pat Rockets]

I wanna point out..it cost  me $0 to do all 6 of my heads..unless you count beer $ and time involved ;D

[Lawdwaz]

Where do you find all those heads?

[Pat Rockets]

I shot all but 2..the 10..and small 8 on the pallet are a friends i did last yr

Nice Pat, I like the glowing eyes!

Did you scrap off the fur, meat, etc or just boil it whole.  Thanks in advance for your input.

[Pat Rockets]

Threw the whole head..fur and all in..then it falls apart..and you can just  powerwash it clean..just watchout not to pop out the teeth

Pat,

Add two cans of beer to that mixture and you have a great soup!

I hear that's what you Saber fans are having tonight!!! lol

[Pat Rockets]

Tough enough to smell it whilst cookin..(i do throw a  couple pine branches in the water for smell)..besides i wouldnt waste beer in that..haha..the fore mentioned glowing eyes were produced by one of the ol ladys  "missing" easter decorations..runs on 2 AA

Very cool!

I have tried all sorts of different things since i started doin these..and when you leave the hide on it shrinks..pulling most everything off with it..quite greusome looking..but removing the hide and scrapeing seemed to cook the meat to the bone..rather than removing it..ever over boil a hotdog?..

My first head i boiled(glowing eyes) the nose and lower jaw were pertruding from the mouth..and i could actually hear my brain fart..i was confused at what had happened..looked like a wet dog had swollowed a skull..

Dont worry bout the antlers in the water either(but try not to)..i do cut the ears off tho

Thanks, Pat.  Will make sure I do it in the north 40 of the property and where I ain't gonna catch a wif of it cookin'.
