Fowl most foul

I noticed a dead owl by the side of the road in my neighborhood and thought I'd like to preserve its skull. So I took its head and brought it to the house and thought about different ways to do it. Well I started on it today and had to stop, it was just too disgusting of a smell and process.

Maybe if I'd started the moment after it was killed but weeks later was far tooooooo late. Gross-a-most!

An hour later and I can still smell that yucky smell. Barf.
