A friend of mine found a NorthWestern taxi advertisement from a 1926 Popular Mechanics magazine. He cut it out and gave it to me and it says EARN BIG MONEY IN YOUR SPARE TIME. Then there is a guy in a suit and tie standing there with this grin on his face. I am going to enlarge and frame it to hang in my shop so when its 2:00am and I'm making big money in ALL my spare time I can have someone to cuss at! I could have used the poster tonight after trying to mount a whitetail and using the hide puller thing (which I never use) with the 6 spikes on one end and slipping and jabbing my two fingers to the bone. OUCH...*&#@%&*(@

are trying to put 20 pounds in a 5 pound bag! Are you ordering forms too large for your hides? Sure sounds like it to me. Try downsizing, you will have the room to TAXI the DERMIS or MOVE the SKIN. HAPP
I think I remember the ad, make money in your spare time, be your own boss, become a taxidermist.
Like Carlton Sheets, boloney course, yea I feel for one like it.
Anyone want to buy the course from me?
Happ, what happened is I had a D*% Ch&*@ form laying around amd now I know why I never used it and it was "laying around"! After shaving off those god awfull over exagerated ridiculus muscles I thought I took enough off, but didn't. Plus it was a full upright which makes it even harder if your a little off on size. I have no idea what they use for a release agent on those things but it was thick and a pain in the ass to sand off! Not to mention the foam seems to be air rated to much. Those forms are not worth the 2 cent 1/8" backboard there mounted to!
Hedhuntr,I've been there too-had to use that hide stabber too,man that baby hurts.
Slipped once and stuck those dang things in my stomach. @#$#@. I wish I could get my broadheads that sharp. Those things should be registerd as deadly weopons.
