Welcome aboard Lady Taxi! Man, the wrapped squirrel body brings back some memories! Very Nice Mounts 
Overheard at my last convention: "If you wanna make a million bucks in taxidermy, start out with 2 million and in 5 years, if you're lucky, you'll have a million left."

Nice Deer - I will be posting photos next week of the upcoming Texas Taxidermy Convention. The public is invited for viewing the mounts with ribbons awarded on Saturday June 7th from 10:30 until 2:00.

No, but I'm hoping to pick up a blonde....oh wait, that's another story. I can't say what I'm taking so my competition doesn't get a leg up....but no Red Heads this year...although I've been told the gentleman that is competing against me is bringing one. (by the way, I don't compete against other taxidermists....I compete against the bird and nature)

I am glad you feel this way. I also compete against nature, i get really aggravated at those who only want to win to "beat out so-and-so" Good luck at the show, you deserve some blues for those beautiful birds!

Apparently txcornhusker you are refering to my cat considering I have the only other cat posted on this thread. This was my first ever cat and I would welcome any advise you might have to make my future mounts better.

Thanks Ladytaxi. I didn't think it looked that bad at all myself. The picture didn't do it justice. I can say I don't care for that pose at all thats what the customer wanted. Lady taxi you sure do great looking work.

I believe he would be referring to a mount that some guy from the metromess had posted on here.....then posted some pics of another guys works.....claiming they were his..... Not sure that guy posts anymore......
Time is not wasted if you spend it with the ones you love.

Thanks for all the comments! I am located in south east oklahoma. But do work for clients nation-wide via Fedex/USPS. And yes...that is a persons housecat. I have been doing pets on and off for awhile now....i have a schnauser (sp?) dog to preserve for a lady as well. Pet-people (as i call them) are a special breed of customer  But i don't mind working with them to get their wishes met.
