Some time back I posted a hunting story and told you I got the biggest feral of my life. Well, while bush whacking my woods yesterday I decided to have a look-see at nature's progress on fertilization. I chopped my way through thick jungle and poison ivy in 90* plus heat and humidity. I was not kidding when I told you all this was a big one, normal feral on right, trophy on left! ![]() Sorry some are blurry... ![]() ![]() Notice his low sloping forehead and wide eye sockets. He was massive, kind of a Neandercrat. Danno, you got 'em this big in Flor-I-da? ~Ann ![]() | ||

No Dan, this was with my 10/22 which was probably not enough gun. In hind sight, I should have had at least my 30-06 with 180 grain pills. I was lucky this time. Bet this is the SCI #1. ~Ann ![]() | |||

Ann, anything we have down here that size is either a Maine Coon or a bobcat. Put a little bleach on them bones baby, it'll make a nice conversation piece for the next social! ![]() Have a friend that does that with hog and gator skulls, 'course all of his friends are like minded. No PETA conventions under that roof, rest assured. ![]() Dan Pres., TYHC http://www.BooneAnd.Cratkett ![]() If yuro'e corseseyd and dsyelixc can you siltl raed oaky? | |||

Damn Ann, you are a woman after my heart! Bleached skulls on the coffee table, tractor, landowner, huntress...do you fish!?!? PS, that skull sure would look good with a .223 hole between the eye sockets! Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. | |||

Ann, when my wife and I lived in Germany, we adopted a runty little kitten we found in the woods. It was colored, and featured just like a housecat. Little did we know, that the Germans have something called Wildkatzen, which look precisely like housecats, but are around double the size, and tend to "go wild" once they get into puberty. When ours "went wild" we sent it to the local Infantry Battalion, where they used it as mascot. | |||

CDH, Of course I fish. I just spent a week in Manitoba catching monster walleyes and giant northerns. There were hundreds of them! Nearly all of my spoons were bit in half, those northerns have some BIG teeth. Damn tasty too! ![]() PS- to you, a bullet hole in the skull ruins a fine trophy! 120, was it a mascot or a target? ~Ann ![]() | |||

Great skull! Looks really good. ![]() Do you intend to bleach it or keep it as it is? Regards, Martin ----------------------- A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition. - R. Kipling | |||

When you want to see really nasty teeth, come on down to the warm salt water and try for a nice 200 lb bull, 12' tiger, or 8' hammerhead or mako shark. Oh, we have barracuda too. I've seen some serious steel cable bitten through and some deeply shredded 12/0 hooks! Sharks can be caught from the beach, occasionally right next to swimmers. You would be amazed at how quickly the water clears when you pull in even a little 4' blacktip. Even some of our baitfish have teeth that can draw blood! Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. | |||

CDH, Is that an invitation? Do you have a suitable boat and tackle for such toothy fishes? What are the possibilities of hooking at least one each of all those sharks you've mentioned? Do you catch and release them? I've seen 'cudas when snorkeling in the past, they did not let me get close. ~Ann ![]() | |||

My boat is a center console bay boat of 20.5 feet, so it is only suitable for offshore on very selected days. I have a good buddy who moonlights as a guide for 6-7 years now that just moved up to a 34 footer with twin Cummins 300 Hp turbo diesels...and I tag along (usually end up deckhanding for him on short notice as a favor, as it works out) a few times a year. The tackle rack, for offshore, has Shimano TLD-50W, Penn 6/0W, TLD-25, TLD-15, Penn 9500SS, 7500SS, and some smaller kingfish sized reels of 30 lb line and below...hardly worth mentioning. My lake has all that Dan mentions (same lake, different shore), though Mackeral only usually run 2-King and Spanish. Tuna (Black and Yellowfin varieties), Bonita, redfish, speckeled trout and flounder also have surprisingly sharp teeth, and are cought on the beach or around rigs close in offshore. Tuna are mostly a winter catch, but we got about 40 on the boat one July 15th not so long ago. Invitation, well, I'm always looking for an excuse to go fishing. An out of town friend is always one that works...unfortunatally I have this little bit of baggage these days, like a pregnant wife and a 50+ hour a week job. Once a month is doing well these days, but like I said, I'm always looking for an excuse! How're your sea legs? You get seasick?
