Seeing your post got me all worked-up to check on mine, so I called yesterday. I asked the taxidermist how the mount was coming along. He said, "It is on the wall..and is drying". I asked him how it looked and there was a small pause and he said, "It looks ok".. :: Now, if that don't make you nervous!! I have a bad feeling it is going to look like one of those buggy-eyed mounts you see at the fleamarket!! I sure hope not!!
