car, Around here you can get skulls done for anywhere from 75 up to 150 just to have them done. My wifes hog I had done in a Euro mount and it was $225.00 with the wall plate. One thing to watch out for is the loss of teeth after having it boiled and bleached.

I had my biggest bear skull beetle cleaned - and I love it. I made a stand, and bought a display case for it. I think it looks awesome!
I also had a pronghorn skull done - by a different guy - and it turned out great, too. In fact, I'd recommend him to anyone - you just have to freeze it and ship it to SW Washington.
He doesn't boil anything (which is a major reason for teeth falling out) - and he knows what he's doing - he does this for major museums and zoological displays
If I remember correctly, the pronghorn cost me $75 (way less than the bear cost me from those others)
