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>

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)....
