Thanks guys. No I got him on the eastside. So I was able to get a tape on his skull and he taped out right at 17-1/2". I also got the first boil done on the skull and made myself a new drink stirrer.  :chuckle:

Im also cleaning up the rear claws to make a necklace for my buddy and my ol lady for helping me back that bugger out of pure hell. Any advice on finishing/polishing the claws (bone in) and polishing them up? I completely de-fleshed them and they're laid out drying now.

Nice job. If you want a picture of what I think is a pretty nice looking necklace you can PM me and I'll text it to you. Also, if you have the slug I used mine as a pendant on the necklace.

Very cool. I'll shoot you a PM, thanks for the help. Yes I have the slug, but after breaking through both shoulders there wasn't a lot left!

Heck yes I'm going to use it! Should be quite the conversation starter at elk camp next week!  :chuckle:
