Ive never been so close to puking without actually puking. . I was fine the whole time, until i went to hop on my bike and ride away, and caught a very strong whiff of stench. I pulled off and gagged a few times, but did not puke. worst smell ever...
As long as the skull is intact I would have thrown that carcass in my cooler and took it home to do a european skull mount on it. A few days in a rot bucket and that thing will make you hurl long time. Awesome picture.
What's a european skull mount, what's a rot bucket, and you would put that thing near, much less IN, your cooler? We don't see that kinda thing here, the buzzards deal with it. I should go check out the skunk carcasses I threw in the woods a few weeks ago, they must have been clean after a day or so, hopefully there's still a skull. I'd like one to put on my bike, or do something similarly hardcore with
you guys are both disgusting.. this thing was mysteriously gone on the way back. It still smelled like it though.
I once came across a dead badger, it smelled pretty bad indeed! (not my jizz, I mean the badger....) :ack2:
A euro mount is a form of taxidermy where only the skull and antlers if the animal has them are mounted. The rot bucket is for the maceration process to remove the flesh by means of bacteria. Then you have to degrease the skull, belach the skull and finally glue the teeth back in. They make euro mount plaques to mount the end product on or you can just make your own.
Very sad,poor raccoon!! I am glad you didnt throw up though!! (I am the same way,i gag @ the slightest aweful smell)
I wonder if Mothman practices the skills of the Mountainman like tanning or using a smokepole to bring home the bacon....
That is absolutely disgusting! I probably would have thrown up. We had a dead raccoon in our basement a few years ago...even after finding it (due to the stench) and getting rid of the carcass, our house stunk for weeks by the cellar door
Well, I have those dead skunks by my garage. NO flesh left, just some skin and hair, but they still smell like skunks. Not rotten, just that strong, fresh skunk spray smell. The buzzards pulled the skin off and peeled it over their heads, so it's inside out and really fuzed hard to their noses..... waiting for some more rain and letting mother nature do it's thing. Then I'm going to wire one to my bike, and take the other, clean it IMMACULATLY and then some, design a way to get into it to stash things, and then put nasty LOOKING shit, like tomato sauce and bits of soy jerky(so it wont really rot) all over it and let it dry, and hang it from my rear view mirror. That's one stash spot I don't think will ever get checked.
That's Handy To Know, Next Time A Poster Round Here Starts Giving Me A Hard Time I'll Give You A Call.... Problem Solved...:2thumbsup:. Cheers Glen.
