good for you...but you were trying to tell me that you dont get meat from any animal you want mounted which is not the case ask any trapper, hunter etc. You can skin your own birds even but it would deffinatly take skill. If I shot a bird and wanted it taxidermied I'd skin it, i've skinned small song birds in the past and did a taxidermy on them....I plan to do one of my quail eventaully (on an already deceased one--not one I kill just for it).

And still meat to eat. Taxidermy would be very wasteful if you couldnt eat the meat. To me taxidermy is just another way to use every part of the animal.
