As for the "right way", "best way", "perfect skull" comments I have been seeing lately it's getting old. If you feel the need to make me look uppity and a snob than you have nothing better to do with your time. I have never said any of those things about my method using Maceration. I said only that using beetles and my method are far better than boiling. That is not an uppity statement. That is a true statement.
Maceration is not rocket science. Anyone can do it. Not like my method has been kept secret. I have NEVER turned anyone away that has posted a question on this board, PM'ed, or called me on the phone asking me questions on what to do next. So it's not like I keep my o so far superior method a secret.
I do not appreciate people making comments repeatedly that make me look like a snob. When anyone who knows me knows I am far from it.

Cant even have fun on here anymore without people reading into things and making big deals about nothing :'(
ANyway, the skulls look great, all degreased properly, all the nasal bones are intact. Looks like they are done the" right way" to me whether it is boiled, beetled , or rotted in water . I figured this was a trick post by BTKR and they were actually boiled :yike: ..... :chuckle:

Hope my comment wasn't misconstrued.

The skulls look better then bugs and a ton better then boiling. I am not sure about "right" or "wrong" but if I had to classify them I would say that maceration would have to be "best", bugs would be "good" and boiling would be "ok".

How many skulls in your collection? I'll never catch up :-)
Here is a pic of some of my bear skulls. I think there are ten there. (We should have 20) I have a couple more that are reall dirty, at least one in the freezer and have lost or left a few in the woods.

I assume it is the brownish one he is talking about. Where is your 20" skull?
You are right Mich. That looks like one big friggin' bear...

The brownish one is not the 20" skull. I believe that is the first bear he ever killed. The really really old one.
His 20" is one of the skulls sitting to either side of the brownish one.

It must be an illusion.
The "brownish" one is between 18 & 19 inches but it came from a 23 year old boar.
The ones on both sides are bigger. To the left is 19 something and the one on the right is 20 inches.
