How did you clean the skull?
Did they give it back to you like that...or did you do it yourself? (Insects)?

Did you purposely give it to them to have it cleaned?
Or is it similar to a CA law, in which the bear skull needs to be given to the Dept of Fish & Game after it has been taken (where they will check for age, sex, sickness, etc.)...and when they are done with it, they return it to the hunter?
If the latter is true (they return it after their testing is done), then it's cool that they cleaned it for you before returning it.

Its different here. Once you kill it you have 3 days to check it in to the g&f they age it and take a couple teeth then its yours to have taken care of as you wish

I just had 2 root canals and I can say without a doubt you just saved that old boy about $2,000 cause that #29 looks like he was going to have to get a root canal and a crown on that bad boy if~n he had made it through the winter.
Congrats again on the score!

Haha yeah all of his teeth actually have big cavities in them. Especially the k9's. The biologist predicted he wouldn't have lived much longer

Man..that is crazy old for a bear. He sure wasnt going to live much longer anyway. That just adds to the story. Its crazy to think that this monster bear was just a tiny little cub when I was 16 and in highschool.
