No bush around here. In a plastic sealed bag. But thought maybe a taxidermist might want it. No holes to patch. But it is heading for the garbage come Wed. morning. Hey next year I will put it in with the compost that is going to cost us an extra $80 a year. Make they earn their money LOL.

I like that Idea. I hate the fact that living means getting nickle and dimed to death. Wish people would stop inventing ideas to take more of my money with little to nothin I can do about it. Good luck with the skunk, I wish the one's under my porches would die too.

When I was asking around to get my owl done, I had a skunk that I wanted it mounted with. Most taxis all wanted to charge an extra $2-300 to do a skunk.

Yes to me that is a bit much for a skunk, but to each their own. Figured someone might want it, as no holes in it at all. Not my cup of tea, but might be great for someone that would normally have to find and blast one.
Seems to be a lot around this year.

Default Skunk

I would be shocked if a taxidermist would only charge $2-300 for a skunk. I brought in a freshly skinned pelt long ago and wanted it tanned and the chap politely told me to keep on driving ... Looking back, it had been shot and might have smelled a bit ..
