Default Who has beetles for Euro mounts?

Looking to have my Moose skull cleaned only. I can do the bleaching myself. Does anyone know someone who can do it for a low price?

I did two skulls last year with beetles and I tell you never again. It takes over a month for them to "clean" the skull. So it stink's to high heaven when you get it back even after the bleaching, plus you have to get all of them beetles out of the sinus's. Just boil and pressure wash and be done with it in half a day.
