What Makes Us Different?
Backcountry Skull Works stands apart by combining carefully raised dermestid beetle colonies with a hands-on, detail-focused skull-cleaning process that prioritizes accuracy, consistency, and respect for the animal. Unlike high-volume operations, each specimen is handled individually, communication is clear from start to finish, and no shortcuts are taken—ensuring clean, professional results you can trust.
