So much for staying on the original :nono:topic!

They started it!

I think I've used that phrase a time or two in the past. Murphy, see what you started:rotf:

I can't play anymore tonight boys, I've gotta head home and fry some pork chops.

Richard, I took the Northwestern School of Taxidermy course by mail too - late fifties or very early sixties. I still have the catalogs and training stuff from Mr. Elwood.

Dean:

I took the Northwest course! Pretty heady stuff for an early teen... I also bought the Touchstone course as well.

I wonder if there are internet taxidermy courses available now? <g>

Destry: I try not to travel in circles if I can help it.

I KNEW that there just had to be be some others here who took that taxidermy course as I did. Not that I got very far with it. I think I stuck the body into that coon backwards and didn't realize it for some time. I just never looked right... I did a hawk that committed suicide on our outside house wall also; that turned out better. Let's see; how to tie this thread all together.... I think that Dean and Bill Murphy were standing at a taxidermy table at the Baltimore gun show looking at a stuffed muskrat mounted on a cookbook base when he spotted a nice used leather comb raiser pad sitting in a scrappy cardboard box that...... (someone else can finish it)....

....that was right next to the crockpot filled with a possum stuffed with cabbage and sweet potatoes.....someone want to take it from here?....

And plenty of beef jerky for those timid souls that are not quite ready for the possum and muskrat..:rotf:
