RE: No throat patch????
This guy comes highly recommended....and is very proud of his work. Lisa and I went to his studio, yesterday....and we were both impressed with the animals he had on displa, there (No exotics....but a GREAT representation of what we encounter around here).
He wasn't the cheapest.....and that might be why he isn't as busy as some. I'm not sure. He is a full-time taxidermist. I found that out (which I think, at elast around here, is unusual).
