    Thanks! Stay Safe! I did 8yrs in the Air Force, 24yrs with the GFPD, and about 10yrs as an investigator with the state… Retirement is the best gig I’ve had.

        Lance where are you at? I also do some taxidermy on the side. Wish I could make a living at it because I really enjoy it. I do 40 to 50 deer heads a year. I’d love to see some pictures of some of your mounts.

                  RON PARRISH Doing “things” that make you happy is paramount. Especially, doing it at YOUR own pace. The grandsons first fish is epic and I know it makes YOU smile. Nice job. It’s one thing I cannot do AT ALL. Thanks for still having that skill in your bag.

                                      cdavis Look great!I am sure you will have very happy customers. I used to do 30-40 deer heads every year and still do a few for friends and old customers that wont take no for an answer but I have been playing with reproduction fish lately.

                                        cdavis Thats cool. Theres still a lot of hunting goig on out here . Its one of our major incoming sources sense the decline in natural gas production.
