The Bone Collectors

Having a hard time finding a place that is just for people that focus on collecting bones? Well I had that problem and this blog is to unite the novice and the seasoned bone collectors. Here there will be pictures of different kinds of bones, how-to's, and anything else I can find that pertains to bone collecting and a little bit of taxidermy. (Pelt and limb preservation, jewelry, etc)
Me, being a bone collecting novice, will try to help put forth as much information as possible so we can all expand our knowledge, bring back this dying art that's most commonly frowned upon and have a bad-ass collection of bones ;D

Its my lucky day :D

So, today I went out to dispose of the recycled items that had piled up at my house and I stumbled upon a dead sea gull. Seeing as how I haven’t come across anything dead in over 2 months I swooped in and took the little fellow home. Right now I’m contemplating on what method to use to retrieve the skull (which was intact and made me very happy). My mother won’t allow dead things to simmer on the kitchen stove and I’m not sure that I can get a strong enough fire to facilitate the proper needs to simmer it.

As of right now I know that I’m going to keep the wings and the feet. I have a box of cornmeal that I can throw those in for a month or so until they are completely dry. But that damned skull is going to give me a run for my money since its like 30 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I’m still a noob so if anyone has any advice it’d be very much appreciated.
