Plenty of ‘skull’-duggery going on

It’s a good thing these boys have plenty of room for their animal skulls, with 450 and counting. Many line the fences on the High Prairie Provincial Grazing Reserve where they live. From left are Brett Blackhurst, 12, Taylor Blackhurst, 8, and Chase Blackhurst, 10.

Many people have hobbies like collecting baseball cards or music, but three boys have been collecting animal skulls.
Brett Blackhurst and his brothers, Chase and Taylor, have collected 450 skulls. They’ve placed many of them along the fences on the High Prairie Provincial Grazing Reserve, where they live.
“They look cool,” says Brett, 12, who started collecting skulls when he was three.
Their collection includes bear, buffalo, cattle, donkey, elk, fox, horse, llama, sheep and wolf skulls, as well as deer and moose antlers. Brett’s favourites are the cattle and llama skulls, Chase likes the horse skulls and Taylor likes the cattle, deer and moose skulls.
They find many skulls in fields and have received some too, but they are always looking for more.
