Hi folks
I realise that this is a bit of a long shot but I'm on the scrounge.
I'm doing a two day bushcraft workshop event with my pal and fellow Natural Bushcraft member Danny Reid I'm aid of Help for Heroes. As part of the show we are doing a section on wildlife and animal recognition.
So I had an idea to have a few skulls around as a teaching aid. So if any of you guys have or come across any skulls over the next 4 weeks or so I would be eternally grateful for them.
Obviously I will cover any postage expenses etc.
Ideally we need deer, fox, badger, rabbit, squirrel and various birds.
In the first instance please drop me a note in this thread if you can help out. It's all for a good cause "Help For Heroes".
Thanks in advance.
Ade.

Thank you again to everybody so far for your offers of help.
The event helped to raise £3500 last year, this year we are doing 2 full days teaching. So we are hoping to raise even more for Help for Heroes.
All the best

Ade - if this is any good (and I'm not too late) I'll get it in the post to you. Found it this afternoon walking my son's mutt.

The skull could be from the late jurrasic period or it could be a badger.

...or maybe you're just a cold & callous badger killer that hordes their skulls, who's now trying to give them away to appease his guilty conscience!? :happy-clapping:

I've looked all over while out with the mutt and have asked the local farmer if he has seen or may have something suitable for you Ade but sadly nothing yet. I'll keep a lookout though.

Went back up to the farm earlier and the fox needs to be allowed to rot down a bit more, a bit of a mess yet. Will keep checking.

That's pal. Like I said in the original thread, the event is middle of May. So plenty of time for the wildlife to have a munch first.
Thanks again.

Ade,, I was down the river this morning with the dog and came upon this skeleton, I took the photo's above on an I-phone. My intention was to send you the skull, when I gently picked it up it disintegrated "very fragile". If you would like the whole skeleton I could go back and try putting it all in a carton and entrust it to the fabulous Royal Mail, though I don't think it would survive the journey. Please feel free to use these images as you see fit, I hope they are of some use to you.
Dave, woof woof

Very kind of you fella but as you say, Royal Mail "Handle With Care" does appear to be a contradiction in terms (in much the same way as "Military Intelligence").
Thanks for the very kind offer tho mate.
