Found : Moose Skull

[WAG416]

A couple of rifle seasons ago I had found a 48" bull moose skull while making a drive and have kept it in the garage since then.

Is there anything one can do to clean it up/bleach it?

What else would someone suggest to do with it?

Take a big bowl and put 1/2 water and 1/2 hydrogen peroxide. It makes them all nice and pretty. (white)

I have taken Buffalo heads and put them on Ant piles for a month and they realy clean off any meat that is left. I don't know what to do as far as bleaching them out. caj

There are bleaching kits in Cabelas. I used one once and it really gets it white.

I have used the ant trick as well for deer skulls. Cleans up real nice. I do suggest you anchor your item so you don't get a cridder hauling off with it.

how do you determine the measurement of the skull, length?

length + width? I also have a bull moose skull but dont know how to score it

Thanks

Kind of unrelated, but while duck hunting out of a canoe a couple years ago up north I saw a bone sticking up out of a wild rice filled stream, I yanked on it and an entire pelvic region of a moose was connected. Kinda neat, have it up at the cabin.

I bleached out a coyote skull a few years ago by putting it in a 2 gal bucket of water and adding around 1/2 cup of chlorine bleach to it. I soaked it for 3 or 4 days. Worked great! Still looks good yet! The skull was already void of hair,meat ect. when I bleached it.

You may want to try to avoid getting the horns in the solution though!
