I've been a head stuffer of sizeable critters for a while now, but have never delved into the small mammal world. Recently I ventured into mounting a tiny baby hog. Did a body cast, tanned the little guy and got to stuffin'. I have now w newfound appreciation for those who mount these little ones. I started out thinking it would be easier than anything I've done but boy was I surprised. Tiny needles, tiny wrinkles, tiny tools required. Thin skin that tears easy, small nooks and crannies you try to get to. Man, I'm whooped! Think I'll stick to bigger critters with thicker skin.
