I'm sure you probably think my taxidermist is just some fly-by-nite kinda guy. but, here in PA you have to be tested and have your work scrutinized. From what I here, they are real SOB's when it comes to giving out taxidermy license here. Yes, he's licensed. I guess in some states anyone can stick a sign in the window and call themselves a taxidermist. Not so here in PA. I just wanted to clear that up incase you were wondering.
