Riley Rozendaal is one of the most interesting people I know. In his early 20s was brave enough to teach himself how to raise dermestid beetle colonies to take on taxidermy work cleaning skulls for euro mounts, but even more impressive than that, Riley started his own bison ranch. This episode features conversation around what it takes to maintain a dermestid colony, and what to expect from them for cleaning skulls. We also talk about how Riley got into bison ranching, and the many challenges that come with raising 1500+ pound animals. Finally we wrap the conversation talking about Riley's multiple year pursuit of a giant old buck.
