gumpokc, the jawbones are used to age the animal, nothing more that I know of. Though I got a whole box full of them as I clean them also when I do the skulls for the European mount.
I'm not familiar if Taxidermists need a jawbone, do you know if they need them in the states? I did have a Rehbock head mounted, and did give the jawbone with the skull to the Taxidermist, but I never did ask him if he needed it or used it. I figured it couldn't hurt giving it to him, even if he threw it away because I've got dozens more, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
