Author Topic: Fair to Midland Year (Pic) ursus21 2nd place, John Denver lookalike Contest Member # 3556 posted April 15, 2013 10:57 AM                   2012 was a fair to midland year. I've had better and have had worse, but overall it wasn't bad. Having my own beetles to clean skulls makes things a little more fun. Although all the coyotes I killed last season aren't in the photo it wasn't bad. Got a little over 50 coyotes, 1 bear, and 1 mule deer. Normally there would be an antelope in the picture as well, but I haven't been lucky enough to draw the last 2 years. Drew 16 years in a row and then nothing the last two. Oh well, I should be about due to draw this year.

I wonder what an obama skull mount would look like? Probly not much is my guess. You'd notice the reduced cranial capacity right away. -------------------- "Truth is no prostitute, that throws herself away upon those who do not desire her; she is rather so coy a beauty that he who sacrifices everything to her cannot even then be sure of her favor".

As in, we ship you a frozen skull, you feed your bugs & ship it back. (I'm sure there's a bit more to it than that but you get the idea.)

Here's my website: http://www.bestskullcleaning.com/ Okay with that said I absolutely did not make this post so I could advertize anything. I just thought it was cool to put all the critter's skulls together and take a picture. Not a "thought I'd share" post! TR, I always seem to have some kind of critter to feed them, rock chucks, gophers, coyotes, deer, pigeons, and rabbits...

However, there is no reason why you shouldn't or couldn't drum up business. Go ahead, please, anytime you feel like it. Good hunting. El Bee -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All.

Koko, I wish you the best of luck with your bear season. Bear hunting is a passion of mine nearly equal to coyote hunting. Hence, my web name of Ursus21.

The "How It's Done" tab is nicely written, and I learned a lot. Would you explain why the skulls have to have the extra meat and brain removed? I mean, I don't mean to sound stupid, and I've heard that from pretty much everyone that talks skull cleaning, but I just am curious...is it because it will kill the beetles, is it because it would take too long to clean, is it because of the smell?

The brain needs to be removed because of the horrible smell it makes as it decomposes. As for the large pieces of meat it is removed just to speed up the cleaning process. The less meat the beetles need to clean up and eat the faster a person can get their trophy back. It also reduces the chances of the meat rotting before the skull is completely cleaned.
