Ridge – Roadkill to shelf

WARNING
!! This post contains photos and descriptions of dead animals, skinned
animals, decomposition, maggots, and the general gory details involved
with cleaning up bones.

I’ve gotten a couple asks about the methods I use to clean bones,
so I thought I’d put together a quick summary of the journey of my
female Badger, Ridge, from road to shelf. It’s not really a tutorial,
but I have almost kind of written it like one – keep in mind this is just
Ridge’s personal cleanup journey, and all the steps she went through while being processed
(it’s pretty similar for all my roadkill though) It’s a bit garbled and I haven’t really clarified anything… Hm. Maybe I will put together a proper tutorial in the future. For now, this is Ridge~

Keep reading

Very very helpful. Reblogging for a future guide

WE’RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BUCKET!

A casual bone hunt yesterday with @forgotten_boneyard led to 14 deer ribcages, 10+ deer skulls/heads and various misc vertebrae, mandibles, legs and hooves. All collected in under 10 minutes! 💀♥💀

If you look closely at these skulls/head you can guess why so many deer remains were in one place. See my previous #bonelustqanda to see where I find bones for my art.

Before and after. Hunted deer was brought in with a decaying head locked in his antlers. Source

Okay but like… Since bucks are fighting over does… Does this mean that Buddy Boy here ripped his opponent’s head off and just… ran off with his girlfriend/s??? Or did he presumably have to wait/drag around dude’s carcass until it rotted enough for him to free himself? Has anyone ever encountered that scene in the wild before? Are does into that? I have so many questions
