I have done several. I start by burying them just below ground level and
from "somewhere" comes the little blace carnivor beetles to dine in splendor.
Months later I dig them up and power nozzle them overall - especially
trying to clean out the brain cavity by going in through the nose and in the
back through that little hole the spinal cord once passed through.
"Nozzeling" finished, and out of doors, I give them a good flushing with
amonia and let it work. It helps remove any residual tissue and then (and I
know there will be a furor here as this produces harmful vapors) I flush it
with clorox and let it set to bleach. The amonia / clorox sequence really
does produce dangeous vapors and must be done outside. This is a technique I
learned in a taxidermy class. Be careful, but it really works!
Sincerely
Richard James

Subject: MtMan-List: Laura Jean's Services
I have received all the tokens, etc that I was told were being sent to be
placed on Laura Jean's grave. I have printed all the many messages of
condolence and will give them to the family. I have obtained a sprig of
cedar for Clint. I have a 1.75 liter bottle of Jack Daniels Black Label and
a suitable cup to toast Laura Jean and to present her with a shot. I will
speak for us at Laura Jean's service Saturday (and will read George
Thompson's letter) and will help pass Laura Jean to her rest. I will
promise her that we all will do as she always asked......"Think of me when
the wind blows". Then I will shed some tears....for me and for all of us.
This is going to be hard.
Lanney
ps: If you lifted a shot of what you like best around 2:00pm CST on
Saturday and spoke Laura Jean's name I think she will know it

Well Mark it all depends on how understanding your wife is and how close your neighbors live. I had a Ram's head that I cleaned really easily. I found a good tree down wind of the house and tied the head up in the branches. Birds picked the meat off and used the wool for nest building and the ants picked the skull clean. Took a summer in the sun but it was a lot easier than boiling and scrapping.
And if you have it face the front walk or drive to the house it tends to discourage door to door solicitors.

Angela - I must tell you how impressed I am with this site. Good subjects,
good materials, and for the most part well documented. There is much more

take in the whole show.
Is this published somewhere, or exclusively on the screen?

Thank you, Lanney. Since I could not be there, I toasted her, and
then poured a shot on a special rose bush in my yard. Funny... it was
very still, and as I poured the shot on the rose bush, the wind picked
up... I think she knew...

several ways... let nature do it.. set it on an ant hill.. but take yer =
horn caps off first, they are worth a fortune and the ants LOVE that =

it and keep a lid on it for a LONG time.. or find a tree to set it in =

I have use peroxide on small skulls after boiling and picking of the
remains off. Soak in peroxide and then pick with the picks used for nut meat
removal. Soak and pick works for me.
Good picking.

Greetings
I haven't heard a peep from the list for a while... so maybe I done got =
myself booted... but anyways, we were talking about dogs and trapping =
expeditions a while back. I didn't say much, cause I knew that only a =
fool would have saddled himself with a dog in hostile country, and I =
knew that the folks I've been researching (Northwest Co), wouldn't do =
any such fool thing.... then I came across a entry in Alexander Ross's =
book (pg 280, The Fur Hunters of the Far West) that simply floored me. =
Life is full of humbling lessons. Anyhow, heres the passage, you decide =
if they took dogs with 'em...
".... On reaching the Forks we observed at some distance the =
appearance of a ploughed field, and riding up to see it found a large =
piece of ground more than four acres in extent dug up and turned over. =
On getting to the spot we observed no less than nine black and grizzly =
bears at work rooting away. We immediately gave them chace, and with =
the help of some twenty or thirty dogs got four of them surrounded in =
front of a lofty and crumbling precipice up which they endeavored to =
make their escape; but the place being steep and the stones and gravel =
loose they made but slow progress and the more so as the dogs kept =
attacking them behind. Our horses however were so frightened and got so =
restive that we could not manage them nor get them to approach, for no =
animal terrifies a horse more than a bear; at last dismounting we let =
them go and kept firing at the bears, which were still scrambling to get =
up the rocky precipice. We brought three of the four down, but they got =
so entangled and surrounded by the dogs that in killing the bears we =
killed seven of the dogs."
These boys weren't out for a Sunday picnic, they had come out of Fort =
Nez Perce (Walla Walla Washington), traveled over to Flathead House =
(Eddy Montana), and were now in what would one day be southern Idaho =
(around Clayton/Salmon River) and had been out for about four to five =
months. Before this incident (this is towards the end of the book), =
Ross had only mentioned dogs once, and they were Indian dogs at a Cayuse =
Indian encampment.
