    Went into the taxidermy shop that I work at and found out that my deer and lynx are tanned and ready to mount. I'm going in today to start the taxidermy process... Im mounting the deer first cause the lynx is a full body and I havent made the form for it yet. I'll take as many pics as I can and post them later. Very Excited!!!
