Not a wolf kill I am not sure what got him. Knock on wood there has not been any wolves around here yet.. I know the coyotes are really bad around here so it may of been that.. I back up to a smaller chunk of IEPCO land so yes that is where it was found..

I have only done boiling but may try maceration on this one we will see. Not sure the pregnant wife would approve of me boiling it in the house and I am trying to keep on her good side..

Probably a good idea. I have boiled the skulls from the deer I've got the past two seasons and can never seem to get them supper clean and nice and white. Maybe I don't do it long enough idk

Go to you tube and type in skull cleaning or how to clean a European skull mount. My nephew sent me a link and it shows this guy using a pressure washer! He was dome in like 10 minutes.... It was pretty slick!

that's funny you say that, I just talked to a guy yesterday and he showed me 2 skulls he used the pressure washer on and then finished with the peroxide paste and they were every bit as nice as a beetle cleaned skull. I can't wait to give that a try this year.

Poor guy finds a nice rack and everyone one is all over it ...Another law made by Washingtons finest ...Do not pick up horns that are attached to the skull

but let the varmits chew away ...I am becoming more of an activist against stupid law as everyday passes by

No not really we had a couple weeks where there was prob 2 feet of snow but it was late in the year. This guy had been there for awhile since it was picked clean...

arm and hammer baking soda works great to whiten skulls or soda ash is what I use
