KIDDING! I carefully cut them out (fascinating process by the way--really interesting how they are held in there. I have a much greater appreciation for God's creative process). Threw 'em out afterwards.

I'm of the thought that it didn't just happen. It is remarkable isn't it DT

nice job!
and the type of beetles are "dermestids" -- although a healthy sized ant nest can do a good job of cleaning up a skull, too -- it just takes a while.

Really nice work. I would say that's every bit as good as a professional job.

My neighbor from down the road woke me up this morning to show me his son's deer. First time deer hunting and the kid got a 10 pointer and nice doe as well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> We laughed, because it's going to be hard to top that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well, my oldest was gonna go hunting with me today--opening rifle and I was planning on helping him get his first. He ended up at a football game with his Scout troop and I shot his deer.

I love my Guide Gun. Something about the authoritative way the 45-70 speaks and the way whatever you hit doesn't move again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Dropped a small doe at about 40 yards. In through the spine, out through the shoulder. I like not having to track 'em.

Used SF45ACP's newly sharpened War Dog to skin and field butcher. That thing was like a laser! Whatever it touched it severed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
