I've never set out specifically to hunt squirrels with my bow, but I have shot at a few. Only hit one so far, and I'm having it mounted in the mouth of a red fox I shot (also with my longbow). If I can ever get the taxidermist to answer the dang phone...the lesson here is don't use a taxidermist that isn't within easy driving distance!

I was told all the fox needed was a little touch-up paint, on the nose and such, and he was waiting to get the squirrel back from a place that freeze-dries them (easier than mounting, especially with it being in the fox's mouth). That was several month ago though......then he had back surgery...... I know things happen, but I'd like for someone to answer the phone now and then to let me know what's up.

Oh well.....

Got good news and bad news about my mount. Good news is it should be on the way soon. Bad news is the delay was because the taxidermist had an accident that resulted in a broken back. He's had three surgeries and may have another within a month or so.

I can understand why I've gotten no phone calls and/or nobody there to answer the phone now! He apologized profusely, and told me I don't owe any more on it because I was patient and the deposit covered the cost of materials.

Now I can't wait to see my mount!
