A few words about the hands on cape prep - Bruce Leichtman will be giving a hands on seminar on preparing your tanned skin for mounting. Bruce will be using the same techniques he teaches in his taxidermy instruction course. You will learn his method of cartilage removal, eyelid turning and cleaning, ear repair, eye, lip and nostril thinning techniques using your dremel tool, wound and scar repair and much more. All are welcome to watch BUT you will get much more if you participate. Bruce is willing to take on as many of those who wish to participate. Learn the skills it takes to produce a top notch cape. Bruce is asking those wishing to participate to call him at (440) 298-1393 so that he can let you know what you need to take part.

Jim I was thinking the other day, with these new tagging systems and all do you think it would be possible to get a Game Warden for one of the seminars? I have a lot of questions as I am sure a lot of other people do as well. It would be kinda nice to have one come and answer some questions if at all possible.

A Michigander in front of a lot of flatlanders, this should be interesting to say the least lol.

But you wear THE Scarlet & Grey if you win a Medallion !!!   LOL

[Wildside]

Oh the pain of Victory!

I can only wish.

If it were to ever happen, could I still sing the victors while wearing THOSE colors?

[Jim Tucker]

I don't think you will get too much hassle in Mansfield....now when we were in Columbus.

In fact the hotel where we held our convention was converted into OSU dorms!

The list is growing thanks to Ohio Taxidermy Supply and Bryan Eppley.
