Last Fall's Bear Skull

[Rufous]

I finally got my bear skull cleaned up from the bear I shot last fall. For those interested here is a link to the hunt story and photos of the bear before skinning:

And here are some photos of the skull. Notice his busted up teeth, particularly on his left side. His skull measured 18 10/16" green.

Wow, looks like you shot him with your truck! Makes for a cool mount though, lots of character.

Cool skull man. Fugly for sure.

If I was going to be attacked by a bear I'd want it to be that one

He must have been raiding camps and eating all the candy.

Awesome bear

damn that's a mug even a mother couldn't love..Would have been nice to have some tests ran on it,,,It looks like the jaw had something eating away at it..Dang we need an ugly gritter contest or just a thread on unusual oddities

[gramps]

Cool...glad it cleaned up well.

[Moose Eyes]

That's awesome.  Did you get an age on him? 

[Skyvalhunter]

Good thing you shot that ol feller before he starved to death!!

How did you go about cleaning it ad what chemicals did you use?

[Rufous]

Michelle, I ended up sending it along with another member to a fellow in Montana who uses beetles. Now I am soaking it in soapy water (Dawn is the soap). Once it is degreased I will bleach it with peroxide. I have never done this before but my friend who took it to Montana has and I will follow his instructions.

Nice skull!!!

I keep looking at this skull and wonder what the hell was wrong with it...just age or what...the jawbone looks pitted...damaged.


What a cool skull!
