Title: Grizzly skull
Post by: Grizzlykiller on November 23, 2014, 06:06:09 PM: Did an experiment with this one, set it in a bucket of cold water with a bit of dish soap and left it there. For a year. Didn't open the lid just let it sit and sit. When I removed it it was pretty easy from that point on. Drained the goop gathered the teeth and sat with a knife and did some picking and poking. For the most part it was a done deal. Haven't put any other work into the skull other than gluing the jaw back together and getting the teeth set. My kid smacked this one in the jaw but it kinda looks cool I think

Did you shoot it in the face?

My kid did yes. Well in the jaw. Then in the shoulder. And then in the shoulder again.
I had a rug made for his '14 Christmas present. Here it is on his wall.

D&C Expeditor's in Anchorage does excellent work on bears if anyone is looking for an expert on grizzly/brown bears.
This bear measures 7 ft. square, not a large one but good sized for an Arctic Grizzly.
So my kid has a cool keepsake skull and a nice rug to hang on his wall.
