Well, I got a call from the taxidermy man. He has my capes and horns. Went over to his place yesterday evening and picked out the forms for the mounts and left him a deposit for the work.

Now all that's left to do is to pick out spots on the wall and wait....and wait..and wait.

#1 should be ready in May, and #2 should be ready in September. In the 19 days between the two deers, he had 79 other heads come in. SEVENTY NINE! NO, he is NOT the only taxidermy man in the area. But evidently he is one that a lot of hunters use.

He said he'd TRY to get #2 to me sooner, but he wouldn't make a promise. I told him I'd much rather have GOOD than FAST.
