Thanks to all for the advice, (Jay...........your sick......in a very funny way,) having never dealt with a taxidermist before, I'm still wondering what a ballpark figure on his services might be. Anyone got a clue? I like the dog idea, just not set up for one right now. Used to have a Great Pyrenees, (elegant protection,) but don't have the fencing or the time to raise a pup.
Thanks again, ..Oh and I know it might be cheaper to buy the pelt, but I've got to get rid of this thing and I'd hate to kill it and not use some part of it. Besides, how many of you, (save Jamie and crew,) have a sporran from something you actually hunted?

Respectfully,
David
