I am thinking about using some beaver and bobcat brains for a paste bait.

Is it possible to remove the brains without damaging the skulls?

Thanks
Ken Smith

I just use a piece of wire with a little hook bent into the end and dig around in the back you can get most all them out

Remove the last vertebra from the skull and then take an air nozzle blow gun tip and stick it through the side of your garbage bag and then insert into the hole in the back of the skull and hit the air and most will blow out. (garbage bag is to keep you from wearing the brain material)
