vicrider 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2022 For some reason I thought you were a Veterinarian. Do you do taxidermy work on the side or what? Nice cleanup but then what do you do with it? I'd think a bar would be the only market I can think of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dogfacedoc 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2022 DarrellP is the forum's resident veterinarian. I'm a former medic(doc) and was in the 3rd Infantry Division (Dogface Soldiers). My taxidermy work is just prepping deer tails with borax and I've done one skull mount. This one will hang on the wall, once I find a spot big enough. My wife has a Kudu from Africa, and we will have 3 whitetail shoulder mounts once my latest one comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
