You paid $550 for a Moose. I wouldn't touch it for that. I only charge $825 for a Moose and that is still Way to cheap.
As for us hiring help. That would be to big a pain in the butt. How many people do you think are available for us to put right to work? We would have to train them first putting us even further behind in our work. Do you realy want some newbee off the street mounting your trophy?

Give me a break apparently you are not aware of the kinda work it takes to do taxidermy. I have a 9 month waiting list and a 20 cubic foot freezer full to the brim with specimins. Probably 75 or so. Sadly not everyone can be 1st. Someone always has to be 75th. I also work a full time job and got to school 3 nights a week. Personaly I don't trust anyone else with my customers trophies. They are paying for my artistic ability not the ability of someone I hire.
