Dan.... The states goal is to remove 30 % of the bears that were handled this year ( trapped and tagged ) once the total reaches 30% they stop the hunt... This year there were 199 bears tagged of which 45 were harvested resulting in 22.6 % harvest rate.... Don't ask me how this figures in biologically, because I haven't a clue....In the past this 30% total has never been reached...@ Fletch What was the state's goal for bears to he harvested?
Skulls definitely get cleaned as they are a big part of preserving the hunt.. I've had them cleaned by a taxidermist with beetles and have cleaned them myself by soaking them in water over a period of time, changing the water weekly then whitening them with peroxide from a hair salon... Bleach will ruin them..Has been a great time following along the last couple years on this bear hunting journey! Congratulations! Rich that is a awesome trophy room. Took me a minute to get to the bears after the deer lol. The full body looks cool. Have you ever done anything with the skulls like a European mount?
