You "earn" more when you "learn" more in taxidermy. ANY good taxidermist'll tell you about studying pictures till your eyes hurt [8D]and learning about proper ear placement, eye structure, attitude, and about a thousand other things you have to learn to make good money at it. Any good taxidermist'll also tell you about how your hunting hours become near nothing[:@], fishing you can all but forget about, working till 11 pm and then starting again at 7 am, never spending the time you wan twith your family and friends. Any good taxidermist'll also tell you they wouldn't change a thing.
