The Gods Have Smiled Fortune Upon Me!

I just found a deer hide in my back yard. Looks like some poor bugger was scared right out of it's skin! Got to go pick up salt and get it stretched out. Crazy.

hey maybe you can help me, since you are crafty and excited about a deer hide in your yard. i'm looking for skulls...small animal skulls i guess, for a craft project. there are things on ebay but i'm looking for cheap and don't want to pay ridiculous ebay shipping fees. any idea where i could look?

What size, quality, and quantity? Mouse is around an inch, raccoon 3", deer 10" to 12". You need them whole, partial, mummified (I've got a mummified cat head that you might like).
There's a few LJ communities where people sell animal parts here and there, FurHideandBones is the first one I'd check
There's a fossil shop out in hamburg on 5, ask them.

Honestly, looking at ebay, you won't find better prices.

awesome thanks! I ideally want to create something like medical specimens, skulls in jars. Organs in jars gets a little too gross but I saw on tv a store in LA that sells basically skulls in jars and other creepy taxidermy things, so different sizes are fine as long as i can find jars to fit them in. Deer is probably too big. I'm envisioning about 5 jars with different size things in them, so I'll keep an eye out on ebay if you think they had good prices. cool cool

oh, I almost forgot. For that info, probably best to contact the EPA directly.
