I would only boil a Badgers skull for a few minutes the check to see if clinging flesh soft enough to scrape off with blade or pull with needle nose pliers. Can re emerse every now an then to soften flesh up some more in simmering water. Don't want to overboil nose/face area to much or dgredation will be bad. Also keep track of any teeth that fall out. Don't want to throw them away with the water. I always add some powdered TSP to my boil pot for keeping grease down and help whiten skull. Good luck.

Nah .... the students are out for the summer and plenty of other kids looking for a job.

All you have to do is lure him over to the trunk and when he's hunched over laying the bags in there - club him hard and push him right in. You don't even have to lift him up and over.

Try and get one that isn't too fat or too tall. Trying to nervously jamb the trunk lid down with a limb sticking out as onlookers pass can be nerve racking.

Gotta be quick and make sure the coast is clear.

Should be pretty easy. Just make sure you hit em' hard. I hate having to "casino" a kid in the parking lot as he screams for help ..... that gets embarrassing.

Don't over boil it. Easy to do and will damage it. Use soda ash in the water.
I have had good luck pressure washing after boiled to remove all fat residue and tissue. Use a drill bit and churn up the brains before boiling

Or use Beatles.....

I must ask. What is soda ash, what is it used for, and where can you buy it? Thanks.

The ones I have boiled I use Dawn dish soap, it seems to work really well.

It is used as a water softener.

powdered laundry detergent works fine.
simmer it, no boiling.
watch for teeth when draining out the water, don't lose any down the drain.
