Any bone collectors or taxidermists out there?

Same! I’m thinking of trying to do that instead of my plan of going to college for architecture or interior Design

Ummm, I tried to do a mole when I was a little kid, I'm not gonna even tell you how it turned out... I would like to learn how to do it too!

I love bones a lot. Right now I have cow bones, a raccoon skull, deer skulls, hog skull, quail skulls, lizard skulls and a heron skull.Here’s some pics, the first pic is when I first got it from the raccoon. That’s why I have gloves.

I do collect skulls bones... A couple days ago at school we dissected owl pellets (I don't even know how many times ive dont that) well, nobody wanted their bones or skulls, so I went home with a nice lot of them. Also, if anyone here would have any ideas of how to clean A gar skull without the teeth falling out?

(apologies [not apologies] I just needed to add that)

Its likely the teeth will fall out regardless but you can just glue them back in when your done cleaning aslong as you dont loose them

Ok, I was thinking no ant cleaning with them, they would carry the teeth off.

Oof yea, never heard of ant cleaning though! Good ways to clean them are dermestid beetles (might have spelled wrong), maceration, and slow cooking!

i don't do taxidermy, but i do trap and collect hides (mainly to sell) but i do enjoy collecting the skulls.

hoping to do a bear hide this spring if i can shoot one. make a nice rug. (added bonus as i like to hunt them for the meat)
