Taxidermy Lessons I
Filed under taxidermy
A few things I learned from a hunter and a taxidermist today.

African porcupines are much gnarlier than their New World counterparts.

Their skulls, though, are about the same. Eyeless, like.

A musk ox is a beautiful animal.

Go ahead and kick the head off a manikin lying on the floor. You can always reattach it.

Turkey heads can cost $80 each to freeze-dry. Then there's painting.

These belong to a not-impossible number of deer to mount between seasons.
