Hey Guys,

I donated a skull boiling and whitening for the 2012 HBC Hunting Photo contest. lip_ripper00 was the winner of the contest and sent me this bear skull a couple weeks back. Got it all cleaned up and it turned out well. Will be shipping it off this week. If anyone has any bear skulls from this spring they are looking to have done, shoot me a PM and we can get it done and back to ya!!

Good luck this spring!!

Steve and I were just talking about that at the pub the other night. Did you happen to score it?

I've got him at 18 6/8 at a quick measurement.

This spring I'm going to use a maceration process rather than boiling, only because I think I can get a touch better look to the skulls. Either way this guy turned out great and is a really nice bear!!
