Title: Boar's big melon
Post by: dakids on January 01/15/17, 02:23:50 PM

The head arrived frozen solid.  Let it thaw out for a few days.  Skinned and removed as much meat as possible as well as the brain and eyes.  Let the bugs eat.

When I skinned and removed excess meat i found small pieces of lead on the bears jaw line.  The bugs are starting to expose the damage to the old injury.
