    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.

                              There is another guy I ran across out your way that has a whole building full of those just about. Mainly elk & Caribou though, if I recall correctly. I think he said he got all of them with a bow!

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.

                                          Dr_Pain Ya haven’t lost that outstanding sarcasm. Keep it rockin’.

                                          HAHAHAA!! Did you expect anything different LOL!! Actually if I have one of those full mounted it will feel like a family reunion. I do come from the far reaches of Quebec and all my brothers are above 6’ (I’m 6’6” and my younger brother is 6’8”). The only thing missing is the hairiness 😉
