Cool find!
"A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct.  Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than that of onlookers.  It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact"

That's pretty cool. Take a 5 gallon bucket a gallon of bleach and hot water. Four gallons of water and the gallon of bleach and soak that thing for a day or two. Pull it out and wash it off and it'll be nice and white. I did this with a 3 x 3 deer skull I found back in MN a few years ago. It sits on my fire place mantle now.

Awesome find..
what I do to degrease is is to fill a bucket with water and dawn dish soap, put the skull in it and let it sit for a week and change the water and let it sit for another week, bear skulls are really greasy so it will take more than a few days to get all the grease out.
