So I'm curious about the mount. Did he request that stacked type layout, or did you suggest it, or where did the idea come from. Wouldn't be my personal choice, but I guess it also depends on the trophy room where it will live.

You do good work Ron...even if I don't like to see animals killed for sport or stuffing...for food and full use of their parts in a respectful manner I condone
I just hate to see magnificent specimens killed for some person's wall as for your client being all smiles...isn't he in one of those movies where they hunt the humans for sport?

Some of Ron's handiwork moving offices a few weeks back.
This owl and several other pieces were quite popular at Truckee River Day yesterday. Having a few big, taxidermied birds pulls the kids in like a tractor beam.

I posted that pic on Facebook a while back and quite a few of my more imaginative friends thought it was a live bird. And by "imaginative" I mean stupid. But it's a testament to your work - even had a couple of grownups approach the table quite tentatively yesterday, asking if they were alive, would bite, etc.!!

^^^ Nice one Locker!
Seriously though, nice looking work Ron.
When you head to work do you psych yourself up by saying 'Game face Ron, game face.'?

Stitch brought this up a while ago, but I'd just like to second his motion for Ron to create a successful marketing campaign for his business through televisions ads, a la Chuck Testa:

Help me understand why anyone would shoot a couple of beautiful birds like that? Just to eat them, just to stuff them? WTF?
Full disclosure here, I've been duck hunting once with my dad (who grew up on wild meat as they were dirt poor and needed to) when I was a kid. I shot two ducks and felt like sh#t for doing it, I thought it was something I was suppose to do.
Still have the shotgun which I dig and use on occasion to shoot clay pigeons but I don't get the animal killing thing.
Looking at the excellent work Ron has done on those just makes me wonder how and why a person would do that. Such wonderful life to see winging through the world now just stuffed soulless objects...

Damn, I can't think of the rail station (Mullingar?) that has a stray dog that became part to of the "station" family. When it died it was taxidermisted (is that a word?) and in a case/cabinet on the platform. Weird, but yet, touching.
