Then fish and wildlife packed up the bones, and plunked them down in the chicken coop. Meanwhile there was the matter of who would take the bones. At first, Harbor Wild Watch, based in Gig Harbor, thought they may have a home for the skeleton, but when that plan fell through, Behrens, who is on the Wild Watch board, suggested PLU. Both HWW and the state agreed. While all the
