Heck, Alex, I had to reduce mine cause someone ordered a catalog and figured out how much a form costsAnd don't get me started on the kits!!! If I go any lower on my prices, I'll have to pay people to mount their deer.

7.What kinda thread to use to sew up holes.
8.Which tannery to use.
9.Show them how to turn the ears with out busting them.
10. How to split the eye skin
11. How to remove the cartlige out of the nose,
12. How to split the lips.
13. They still have to learn the location of the wisker roots so they don't cut threw them.
14. I didn't tell them any of the chemicalsI use.
15 I didn't show them any of the apoxie work.
16. I didn't show them all the paints they were going to need.

21. Didn't tell them how to keep the muscle detail from pulling out while theskin dries to the form.
22. Didn't tell them about the different types of hide paste.
23. Didn't tell them about the difernt types of ear liner adhesives.
24.Didn't tell them about bug proofing the skull plate.
