Good job buddy, glad to see all your hard work has paid off.  So when are we hunting together?  Talk to you soon.

Thanks for all the comments - I'm definitely pumped, and it still hasn't worn off.    I need to get my brother onto a bear now!

I'm going to boil and bleach the skull myself (thought it would be a cool project).  If anyone has any info, links, etc....let me know. This will be the first one I've done.

Thanks.

I prefer not to boil, but that being said..boil softly and not too long.

Great job, snoho!!! Looks like a great bear!

KillBilly has bugs.

What I mean is, he has them beetles that eats everything but bone, contact him about your bear skull.

Great going!

Getting the skull totally free of meat and other clinging matter is the hard part. Ask Rainshadow1, he is sending me his boiled skull to see if my beetles will finish cleaning it. I can help if you ask.
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.
He who shed blood with me shall forever be my brother.
