    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!

                                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 😉

                                        Lance our deer season just ended on the 15th. How do you find time for taxidermy with all your processing and sausage making. You must be a very busy man.
