Even I've eaten coon when I was growing up in Michigan, and it was a roadkill coon to boot.... still warm and I'm sure JUST done kicking when I found it. I mounted it using my Northwestern School of Taxidermy lessons and had it on the table as we had a stew of it that my grandmother made(that woman could cook anything and make it good). My sister was chowing down and asked what the stew was and I told her. She looked at me, looked at the coon down there snarling at her, then ran outside and threw up.... I'm still laughing 40+ yrs later. True story... you can't, or at least don't have to make stuff like that up...

Flanders,

George just obviously doesn't travel in the same circles of the South that I do.

I finally got around to mailing that comb raiser today.

Destry;

Was your comb riser made out of cardboard in the true and traditional "Ole Clunker" style?

Nope, sorry to report it was leather, but I live in hope that you'll make me one of your famous waxed cardboard models.

What about that muskrat dinner dammit! When shall I arrive?

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

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>
