I don't have much space, but the bigger issue to me is cost. I recognize that a good taxidermist does an amazing job of preserving and presenting an animal, and I admire that ability; but I can't be bothered spending hundreds of dollars on getting an animal mounted. I do have pictures; and I plan on de-fleshing and bleaching the skull (incl. mandible) of the Muley I took, in the fall; and placing it in my classroom, along with other skulls, antlers, etc. that I have found, over the years. I just have more important things to spend the money on, I guess.
