I have heard boiled in salt water but no idea how salty or how long. I see skulls for sale on ebay you might try asking some of the folks that are doing that. If nothing else they might point you in the right direction.
In the ground is not the way I don't think as the bone will turn brown. We have a badger skull we found partly buried a couple of weeks ago which is very brown.
Some of the mountain man reenactment guys might know.

I used to place deer heads high on a power pole out back, but didn't have any neighbors within several hundred yards. Had birds make nests between the horns on top of the head. we enjoyed the baby birds. There would still be some hair after 5 or more years.
