    Do I Need a New Taxidermist?

    I only asked about coombs because they are notorious for being off symmetry wise. Pedicles/burrs aren't always symmetrical.

    Leftover CO

    Can you only buy the tags on Wednesdays or are new tags added on Wednesdays? Sorry, I always look at the list but never have tried to buy a tag.

    2023 controlled hunts

    Wife and I drew Colorado Bend management deer. 1st draw in a decade of applying in TX for us. Anyone hunt Colorado Bend? Are compartments assigned via a draw at check-in?

    Attended the Iowa Taxidermy Association Convention over the weekend. Had a great time and picked up some more knowledge. Never ceases to amaze me how much there is to learn!

    ND Game and Fish coming under fire for CWD Management

    Plenty of 10 acre food plots in Missouri, and the same BS. Although we couldn't ever bait during season(luckily.) No mineral allowed outside of season now to to CWD management. The biggest problem with CWD management is the amount of government money that's involved. Let's do something even...

    Taxidermy School Inquiry

    I'm not necessarily saying work for a taxidermist. I paid for 2 weeks of 1 on 1 with a taxidermist that has been in business for 30 years. It cost me a third of the school you mentioned above. I've seen 1 case locally where a guy went to one of those schools that teach birds, gameheads...

    Taxidermy School Inquiry

    Just my 2 cents. I would find someone to get 1 on 1 training with. That is the route I took. Those schools seem to cram in too much too fast IMO. Find a master taxidermist and go train with them. It really speeds up the learning curve. Start in 1 area like game heads for example. Join your...

    Nebraska “slam” attempt

    Apparently he looked at the ballistics for the 270 Lazer beam. Playing catch up on this thread. I'm posting from the Sandhills. So far it's not been quite as frustrating as I anticipated.

    Raccoons

    We're overrun with them as well. Caught several in cat sets last winter. We skinned and put up the first one just to show the Boyd how it's done. The rest fed the coyotes(which need thinned out too.) Talked to a buddy that traps a lot of cats and coyotes. Asked him what he does and he says...

    Another MO cat ready to go home.

    Just finished up another Missouri bobcat. He's actually a good looking cat for this area. He had been in a grain sack in a deep freezer for 2½ years. His face was freezer burnt real bad and I wasn't sure he was salvageable. Those freezerburnt ears are hard to turn!
