[Jacob-list] Jacob-list Digest, Vol 25, Issue 13

[Victoria da Roza]

The head Robin has looks great.  I had one of mine
mounted and it is up because his horns were so
spectacular but even after the guy who only does
taxidermy took all the measurements, he mounted it on
a mt. sheep form and we were very disappointed.  With
the bulgy eyes it looks like he has high blood
pressure and the muzzle is way too wide.  This guy has
articles written about him in the paper as to what an
expert he is, but not on Jacobs .  I am reminded of
that everytime we go in the livingroom.  Be very 
carefu lwho you get.  Even people who have famous
reputations can be not so good.  They have to be
willing to modify whatever form they use.  Victoria
