What’s nice about Johnny is you know exactly where he stands and he won’t sugar coat anything. I like that, at the end of the day if he isn’t happy than I’m not happy.
I can remember as a client being disappointed so many times by an animal I was so proud of only to get it back and have look like crap. I’ve been there and it’s a shitty feeling, that’s what drives me to do my absolute best with every piece. I also have a passion for these animals and hunting that few people truly understand. I study these animals, literally, inside and out and everything about them.
I also want the details of how the hunt happened and what the circumstances were around it. This way I can assist in proper form selection and the overall look of the piece. Taxidermy is not “stuffing” dead animals, it is art and a living representation of an experience locked for ever in time.
When you look at a Taxidermy piece you should immediately be taken back to the time when you where there. Every detail of how the hunt went should flood into you. If your Taxidermy doesn’t do that for you then it’s time to get a new taxidermist.

tell it like it is gizz.

Looks like the permit from Limpopo will not be issued in time for the Christmas shut down. Ridiculous in my opinion it should take 4 months to be issued. I was hoping to get Erik cracking on the project. Guess we’ll see it in February.

It should, but it almost never does.... remind me @johnnyblues, who' doing your dip and pack and when was your hunt?

Getting those trophies put before Christmas would have been a miracle!

 

[johnnyblues]

Thanks brother. My brain is not working well lately.

No worries. I guess I should have also added what TIA actually means.

Don’t be in a hurry.

If it can go wrong it probably will.

Expect the unexpected.

Roll with the punches, go with the flow, and it’s always best if you smile the whole time.
