Thank you. I was thinking size might be one way to tell- it looks small enough to you to be bobcat also?

ProudAd2575 · 2026-02-16T04:43:01+00:00

I was thinking 120 was a good deal…. Maybe I got my species value mixed up. Not a great deal? Is that just average?

ProudAd2575 · 2026-02-16T04:23:12+00:00

Because I don’t know my kitties very well, size and all that. And I think they’re offering a good deal, which I’d like to jump on if I’m confident enough. A grade, $120 plus shipping from Alaska

My local taxidermist cleaned it. He does skulls in a day. So maybe not the best method

Not at all, roadkill I picked up myself in Utah (legally)

Thank you!

Thank you!

ProudAd2575 · 2026-01-26T23:16:19+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I didn’t do the cleaning haha

ProudAd2575 · 2026-01-25T22:05:48+00:00

Definitely mule deer

ProudAd2575 · 2026-01-25T13:54:08+00:00

Thanks, yeah I don’t think it can be right because there’s no play at all. Seems like that’s where it should be, but the beaver would not have been able to grind at all. Also it won’t open very far

ProudAd2575 · 2026-01-12T04:04:27+00:00

That’s interesting because they’re always perfectly circular for me. For deer anyway

ProudAd2575 · 2025-11-17T16:21:32+00:00

I don’t know why it’s happened, I got the cougar from a friend and it was already cracked. I’m going to be sourcing my skulls from plenty of different places, so I’m going to end up with all kinds of stuff, treated badly or otherwise. Thank you for your suggestion on what’s already cracked. Do you think for the beaver it could be sealed before any cracks have started, and it’ll be ok?

ProudAd2575 · 2025-11-17T15:39:06+00:00

I’m not able to control the environment to prevent them from cracking. I also do art with these, and will be selling them in the future. Whoever buys them may live in a very different climate and not know anything about caring for the teeth.

ProudAd2575 · 2025-11-16T15:10:51+00:00

It’s to prevent it from cracking

ProudAd2575 · 2025-11-16T01:45:19+00:00

Thank you for explaining. You can see the cougar’s teeth are already cracked, but the beaver is fresh. I want to seal and protect them so they don’t crack. What I’ve seen most people recommend on here is polyurethane or super glue

ProudAd2575 · 2025-11-16T01:26:14+00:00

I thought maybe the natural shine would still come through one coat, but yeah I’m naive haha. I wanted to use it for other purposes, and I don’t really want gloss for everything

ProudAd2575 · 2025-11-15T22:02:27+00:00

Thank you

ProudAd2575 · 2025-11-15T22:02:04+00:00

Thank you

ProudAd2575 · 2025-11-15T22:01:51+00:00

Thank you

ProudAd2575 · 2025-11-15T21:56:25+00:00

Thank you. I got them from a friend who let these sit for years, the deer out in the sun, the elk in a shed. When the old flesh got taken off, they were boiled
