I had to Google Steampunk Taxidermy! I don't get it, but that's okay. Like I said I'm old. By the way I think it's very different than turning it into a leather coat, VERY different!
Do you?
I think it's about the same amount of 'respect' for an animal. Both ways you're cutting up an animal and making it into something it's not. But really, who cares what you do with it, as long as you eat the deer meat, and use as much of it as you can!
