Tapper T,
No I don' t have a shop anymore....forced to have a real job. I went to school for it & let my employer pay for it so I would save alot of $$ on taxidermy & do my own. Glad I could help you out there. How are your wings & fan mount coming along? There is a guy in North Bend that did my P&Y bear I can hook you up with, he does awesome work, his name is Bill Lancaster & if you can' t find his # I have it at home.
Thanks for the info on the area, I' ll check it out. This is the situation, me & my partner work in Everett & want to hunt during the week, we have to be at work at 2:30 in the afternoon. It' ll be drive down after work sleep in the truck, hunt, come back shower & head to work!

Hey trapper T, since you have your Eastern you might as well go for the Merriam! I do have a couple of honey holes for them if you want to run over there, just in case your areas get to populated. Last WE there was only 2 other hunters in there all 3 days & they were with me.
