Peroxide usually doesn’t do much for it in that case. Any insight on that?
Also did 2 rotten ones this year (year old) and they were bad! But hide was still on and they came out fine and whitened right up with peroxide.

I have done heads skinned in November and boiled in October that turned out good. My method of whitening is I stuff all the holes, brain cavity, nostrils, eyes, then wrap the skull right up to the base of the antlers with paper towel, then soak it down really good with straight peroxide. Let it sit over night, usually about 16-18hrs then take the paper towel off and leave it sit in the sun. So far so good.
