I always prefer that a self-learned Smith learn on other people's guns and preferably guns that I will not be purchasing.. Hanging a shingle out and giving it a whirl may get a little complicated.. I say this, as I myself have borne witness to some self-taught taxidermy work and must report that I was always under the impression that words like "lifelike" and "natural" were supposed to be captured and preserved to the animal prior to being SHOT. And what do you really say when you first lay eyes on your long-awaited (all beaming with pride) trophy??? LOOKS GREAT...
