Just ask the taxi if a hunting club dropped off 40 deer and 20 elk for shoulder mounts would they be done in a month or two.

I make sure that my customers and wholesale folks understand that when its ready is when the skull is grease free, if they want it sooner, it will have grease but the price is the same. Make sure your customers understand that getting it right takes time.

Is it going to be ready in time?
The way everyone talks about salmon eating Bears hat sounds like a tight turn?

I told them I would peroxide it right before the show and finish it after, it is getting close though, so it might be done in time

Give it a solid week of straight ammonia now, then a few more days in degreaser then pull out of peroxide the day before it is due. The deep grease in the back of the zygomatic arches and near foramen magnum are the toughest to get out. You need the ammonia to help break it up. Would like to see a pic of it. Curious on it's age? Size is not indicative of age in bears, genetics and food are, 8 years old is when skeletal structure matures including skull . The old dinosaur boars are my favorite even if they aren't that big.
