I have a snowy owl I got done in Slave lake and never did like it and after seeing yours I feel like throwing mine in the garbage cause they did a horrible job I wish I could get mine redone.

I wonder what % of taxidermists have your skills, I'm guess less than 5%, anyway just wondering how you took it to such a high level, self taught? Good mentor? Or just natural talent? Bass pro should have hired you when they fired in cowtown, some of those mounts are just horrendous, like seriously looks like a blind person did them.
